Jacket Class in Virginia
The real reason for my travels to the Washington area was to present a three day jacket class to the Waterford Weaving Guild in Springfield, Virginia. The class was held in a lovely empty town house owned by a relative of one of the group who was gracious enough to offer us the space. We had lovely fall weather all three days.
Everyone found their own little corner where they could work and set up their machine. On the wall is my explanation of where to put interfacing drawn on huge post it notes which don't harm the wall. Most people cut and fit several muslins.
The doors to the patio outside the dining room furnished wonderful light on the sunny days.
My clothes on a rack in the hall. There were also muslins to try on for size for the patterns I provided. The most popular jackets were the butterfly jacket, the quilters jacket and the bog coat.
Having a kitchen was a huge plus. And of course we had to have snacks to give us energy....or something.
The little curve in the hallway provided a nice space for a cutting table. Since this was a group of weavers the fabric for jackets was usually hand woven which provided lots of challenges. I am eagerly awaiting photos of finished jackets.
