Join us for Rigid Heddle III: Double Heddle Woven Bag with Reina Young and Helen Rau
In this class, you will warp and weave a two-layer fabric on the rigid heddle loom. We will be warping on two 10 dent reeds. Because of the nature of the double heddle, we will be able to weave a pocket as we weave our project. After finishing the weaving portion we will then crochet our cross body sling. After adding your woven strap, Voila! You have finished making an advanced woven bag all by your hands!
Bag strap is Crochet fabric. Hemstitch both ends (start & finish). Day 3 sewing the sling bag together.
Required Prerequisite: Rigid Heddle Weaving I & II, or similar intermediate experience.
