For a person who could barely sew a zipper a year ago I’m feeling proud of myself for sewing this zipper pouch out of hand woven fabric and cotton lining. Coming at you in lots of colour combos @theroyalbison in three weeks! #handwoven #zipperpouch #weaving #weaversofinstagram #royalbison #yeg #madeinedmonton
Weaving so much fabric for @theroyalbison! I’ll be offering all sorts of handwoven items the second weekend of December. This weaving is a result of a sett experiment I did in the summer and I think it will make a nice runner or hand towel. So excited to see how it settles in the wash! #handwoven #shadowweave #weaversofinstagram #yegtextiles
The only gun I’ve ever liked. Love, actually. See it in action over in the story zone! #tuftinggun #rughooking

Another batch of new weavers! This group made cushions so big I was a bit worried about running out of stuffing. Thanks for the fun day, weavers! #weavingworkshop #yegweaving #weaversofinstagram #handwoven #yeg #yegworkshops
Today’s student work! #handwoven #weaving #weavingworkshop #yegweaving #yegtextiles
Just had a spot open up for Saturday’s full day weave a cushion class! 9:30 am- 5:30 pm: we go over theory, loom set up and project planning. I’ve been weaving lots lately and taking time to experiment with materials like gold metallic thread. Got me thinking a lot about times when cloth was currency/precious commodity. #weaving #weavingworkshop #yegweavingworkshop #gold #goldwarp #textiles #weaversofinstagram

Check out @fellaella ‘s sashiko stitching on this coat she upcycled! She’s our favourite kind of student: one who attends a class and then does a deep dive into the craft. Happy to let you know we’ll be offering some “advanced deep dive” classes in weaving and rug hooking this winter! #sashiko #deepdive #yegworkshops #sashikoworkshop #textiles

Cushion weavers! From never woven before to a finished project in 5.5 hours. I’m so proud of my students every single time. #weaving #yegworkshop #weavingworkshop #yegweaving
Just had one spot open up in the drop in weaving class on October 21st! Learn the basic practices of weaving while making fabric to sew into a cushion. The cushion class is going to be retired soon to bring in a new project, so this might be the last chance!

Loving how this overshot looks on a black warp! Making bed runners, zip pouches and shirts from this warp, I’ll show you in one million years! (Weavers: all I did was change from white to black cotton tabby and my squares got all squishy! Weird, no? I don’t think I’m beating any harder.) #weaving #ontheloom #yegweaving #weavingworkshop #fernsschoolofcraft #overshot #weaversofinstagram #textiles #coverlets #yegworkshops
Treasured hand embroidered shirt bought in Oaxaca in 2012. I’m currently weaving some fabric for garments and excited to show you but it’s such a darn slow process! I find myself constantly frustrated with how slow weaving is, still haven’t embraced that ten plus years in. How do you other weavers feel it? #mexicantextiles #handembroidery #donttellmetosmile #embroidery #textiles #weaversofinstagram #slowfashion

Scored this handwoven cape at value village and have since become obsessed with Welsh weaving. Seriously worth a google. #welshweaving #handwoven #ilovethrifting #weaving
