I've admired the clothing you have woven. A bit shaky to try it myself until I watched your video. You're so calm and delightful to listen to you. I'm inspired.
How fascinating. I also like weaving narrower cloth, though I have a 42" floor loom. I have done rugs and blankets when need arises. Lately, I've been considering making cloth for my own clothing. It's frustrating not to find clothing I like in the store. I had the honor to learn under a master weaver about fifteen years ago. She also made all of her clothing. She was 98 when I last saw her, and still weaving. We spoke a few times after that, but her advice and encouragement are sorely missed. I'm glad you made this video. I know it's older, but I hope I can listen to more of your wisdom. 😊
@dianasmith8166 I was also lucky enough to be taught when I went to college, by a very nice teacher who showed me the basics of spinning and weaving, then left me to get on with it. That suited me, I like finding my own way of doing things. Now I feel that it's my time to pass it all on.....although I'm not 98 yet! Happy weaving 😀
O I’m excited to see the videos. I’ve been weaving for around 30 years and have never made clothing. But I’ve wanted to. So thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can’t wait
Thank you for making these videos for those of us who want to make our own clothes, but lack the confidence. I have several of your patterns and they are ready to be worn!
So happy to see your channel. I am wanting to make something other than scarves and towels. I used to sew and would love to get back into it using my woven yardage. Thank you for all your great tips!
from Gerry- I am so happy that I found your channel. I am ready to weave and sew. I have the yarn and I must get started. You are the impetus I need to get going. Be blessed.
Sarah, you’ve just given me the push/encouragement I needed to get a largish rigid heddle loom on which to weave the woollen fabric for clothes I’ve been thinking about for years! Thank you for your accessible and enthusiastic videos! 😀
So happy you are doing this. Rigid heddle weavers need this. I have a few of your patterns and have the hand spun handwoven cloth ready for a jacket. I just need a little guidance.
It’s so wonderful that you are sharing your vast knowledge. I’m excited to use my weaving to make clothing. I love your designs and I’m looking forward to all your videos!
I really enjoyed your video. Over on Ravelry a moderator (Jeen) has created a thread, "WEAR YOUR WEAVING / SARAH HOWARD" in the Rigid Heddle Group. We are following along, watching your videos as you post them. There are many RH weavers who want to make clothing, your videos will be very helpful and inspirational.
Hi 👋 Susan, thanks for getting in touch, I'm so pleased you enjoyed my video and are sharing it with other weavers. I'm planning the next one, I hope it won't be too long before I'm ready to post it. Take care and happy weaving, Sarah ☀️
I absolutely love the clothes you design! I’m so happy you’re making these videos, looking forward to each one! It’ll help me feel brave enough to a actually make something!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have always wanted to make clothes from my weaving but have not been brave enough to try it. Bless you!
I am in the process of making a jacket right now. I didn't make enough fabric so...I am now attempting to weave some more. For once in my life I am not rushing a sewing project. You are my inspiration to keep at it.
So great to see this video now. I started on the same loom 🙂and I love making things to wear, but I need to learn a lot of things. I will definitely follow your videos. Thank you soo much for making this video. Looking forward to your future videos.
I LOVED your video! I hope you continue sharing you knowledge of weaving your own cloth for clothes. The jacket you are weaving is beautiful!!! Thank you!!
This video helped me get not only inspired, but also was very informative! I, myself, am Navajo and have been trying to figure out ways in which I can wear my weaves-and overall teaching myself how to sew. Thank you so much for this video! I love your energy ❤
So looking forward to your videos, I have already picked up a few tips from this one. Love the jacket you are wearing, especially the collar, it sits so well.
I am so excited for this series! I grew up learning how to sew and now that I've been weaving a few years, I'm eager to make fabric to sew clothing with! I also do some spinning, so spinning to weave and then sew it would be so much fun!
Love your first video! I have several of your patterns but haven’t been brave enough to actually give one a try yet. Looking forward to this series of videos. Thank you!
I am thrilled to find your channel and so looking forward to watching every video you create. I also spin and weave and would love to weave my own garments. I purchased a handwoven coat made in Norway many years ago and it has been the best coat I ever bought and inspired me to want to learn to weave. Please also include how you care for your handwoven clothing in a video. Love your jacket that you made!
I've been following your FB posts with the intent of creating garments from my RH weaving sometime soon. Love seeing the video and look forward to seeing more!! Thank you!
Oh thank you so much for making these videos. I’m such a visual learner and since I have purchased several of your pattern I hope this will get me over my insecurities. Thank you again. 🥰
So happy to see that you started this channel! I’ve been following you on Instagram for a few years and have been interested with how you are making garments with your woven cloth… it will be fascinating to see and learn your process.
I’m really looking forward to this series! I have a 10” Sampleit and would like to get a 20 or 24” loom. I’d really prefer the 20” but worry that it isn’t wide enough to make anything. Sounds like it would be! Thank you for sharing your experience!
I just purchased some of your patterns and will get them in a few weeks. I really love weaving and can't wait to make some lovely tops for myself and others.
I am so delighted that you are making videos to compliment your patterns. I've had the pattern for the top in the background of your video for a couple of years but haven't been brave enough to get started on it tho! Hoping you will inspire and motivate me to get it made. Really looking forward to seeing more from you.
Tlhis is so good of you! I have been weaving for a couple of years now, but I’m not much of a sewer. I would love to make a simple tunic. I have some silk hankies that I am spinning on a drop spindle and I’m planning on using that as weft with linen as warp. Have you woven with linen as both warp and weft? Also please consider doing one or two live Q&A sessions. Cheer!
I’m excited you’ll be making videos here! I’m a spinner, I dabble in weaving and I really want to learn to make my own clothing. I love your designs and I’m thrilled to watch your videos as I’ve found the whole idea daunting!
Me too. I prefer woven fabric other than knit, except for super fine knit which I don't want to do. I've taken my first class for rigid heddle from a great teacher. I like spinning fine so this channel is perfect and exciting.
So nice to see you. I have several of your patterns, which I love, and have completed a couple of garments. Your instructions are easy to follow, but it will be wonderful hear your advice and tips, especially for a muddling sewer like myself.
I'm so excited you have a TH-cam channel! I have made two of your patterns so far, and I'm very pleased with how they turned out! My third pattern is the one that you are going to work on! I'm a new-ish sewist so reading sewing instructions is challenging for me. I look forward to having some videos to help me.
I a, subscribed already and can’t wait to see some of your videos. I really fancy learning how to make clothes from weaving. My son would quite like a woollen tie so I thought it might be cool to make a tie from hand woven fabric for him
so looking forward to your series of videos thank you for sharing i have a couple of your wonderful patterns and made my first ever garment from handwoven cloth last year, im hoping to have the courage to use some of my handspun this year
Thank you so much for doing this. I have wanted to make clothing and was hesitant to start because I have always had to alter pattern and hated doing it. Look forward to whatever you have to share.
Hi Charlotte, 👋 I'm looking forward to this. I'm doing it as if I'm talking to a group of friends, which really is what it feels like. It makes sense to share everything now, and much easier than driving miles to give a demonstration! Happy weaving 😊
@@getweaving8459 Hi Sarah, thank you so much not only for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, but also for doing it exactly this way: as if talking to a group of friends, which really is what it is - after reading most of the comments! Looking forward ❤ Katharina New to weaving, enthusiastic knitter and yarn collector since 2019 😅
@@southafricanrhino I'm afraid not at the moment, I'm not doing double weave yet. Most of my fabric is made on a rigid heddle loom, very simple, 1 heddle, to get people started.
Really excited to see your video. I have several of your patterns. I believe GW TO11 was behind you on the video? I have the pattern and woven the fabric but not yet dared to cur out the fabric! This will spur me into action. Thank you
You always make a mock up before cutting and sewing your handwoven fabric. Say you’ve made alterations to your mock-up, how do you transfer them to your pattern or fabric? Do you have a video on the process? Just checking. I’ve seen for years, but have never had to alter a pattern except for length.
I unpick the mock up if necessary, but with all the alterations marked in pen or pencil. Usually I just measure everything. I have a booklet Making a Mock Up which explains most of this, but I'll add it to my list of videos. Thanks for the suggestion 👍👏
Hi Susan, I'm afraid nothing is clear at the moment, I've just written to our MP to ask for his help. I'm thinking I'll have to use a different carrier but they're all considerably more expensive for single items. I'm waiting until the end of this week then I'm going to make a decision 🤞🤞🙏
It's a 20in Ashford Knitters loom, you should be able to get it from an Ashford supplier(I don't know what country you're in). I weave most of the fabric for my clothes on it.
I've admired the clothing you have woven. A bit shaky to try it myself until I watched your video. You're so calm and delightful to listen to you. I'm inspired.

Thanks for sharing! I’m looking forward to your videos and learning new things! ❤
Loved the video and the jacket. Looking forward to your future videos. Making a jacket from my own woven fabric at present.
I’ve just watched your first video and thoroughly enjoyed it! Can’t wait to watch the rest. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
