This group started as an off-shoot of the Weave Structures Study Group to explore how to sew with handwovens, but is open to all guild members. You do not need to be a member of Weave Structures.

The purpose of the group is to support each other in the construction of garments using handwoven cloth.  Members need to have a basic knowledge in weaving and sewing.

We would love to have more Black Sheep members join us. The goals of the group are to weave fabric that we measure, cut, and sew with; to help each other in this process; and to learn from/with each other. Joining the group, one would need to have basic weaving and sewing skills. Meetings will be held on Wed afternoons primarily by zoom but there may be occasional meetings in person. Interested? – please contact Teddie Guenzer.
