Registration for Midwest Weavers Conference 2025 closes at midnight on 3/31/25! If you haven't decided what classes to take, I'd love to have you in mine.
3-day "Crimp and Create," June 9-11.
This is an on-loom workshop taking fiber in a new direction by creating “crimp cloth.” Learn to create fabric with permanently crimped designs that hold their memory even when washed. Apply this stash-busting technique to any threading and learn the thought process that will lead to endless possibilities for creating magic cloth. Participants will draft, weave, and crimp their samples in class. Learn how the fabric can be used for one-size-fits-all garments that flatter any figure, scarves and shawls that won’t slide off your shoulders, and knit-look ribbing for a sweater or jacket collar. Garment design and sewing tips are included. Skill level: Adventurous beginner and beyond.
2-day "Design Inlay Rag Rugs and More...." June 12-13.
Add a unique touch to your rag project - whether it is a rug, wall hanging, table runner, or place mats, etc. Creatively piece together fabric strips to form a fabric block. Cut the block into weft strips and weave into a plain weave threading. Use fabric paints to create designs and learn an inlay process to make your project special. Fish, flowers, and butterflies are a few design ideas. No special artistic ability is required, as designs can be copied or traced. All levels welcome.
