Hooray for cooler weather, I love this time of year.

I’ve been spinning and weaving wool all summer which had resulted in the creation of two long rectangular woven panels. Initially I was going to use them for a waistcoat and cut out pieces to a pattern but then I became very reluctant to take the scissors to them.

So instead I’ve just combined the panels as they are to make a really simple garment.

The two rectangular panels are hand sewn together about half way down to form the back. Then sewn on both sides to make the arm holes. And my copper fibula brooch is doing a great job as a fastener holding it together.

And for next time I will research the best way to cut into hand woven fabric without it all falling apart.
