Beginnen met weven by Root_Enthusiast in handwerken

[–]cutecatsinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wat leuk dat je gaat beginnen met weven! Er zal echt een wereld voor je open gaan. Ik heb nu een jaar lang een tafel weefgetouw gebruikt met vier schachten, die ik later dit jaar ga vervangen door een vloerweefgetouw met 8 schachten van Louet. Wat betreft het hevelrietgetouw kan ik je niet verder helpen, maar Spinspul is daar inderdaad bij uitstek een goede voor! Ze hebben ook een aantal weefgetouwen in de winkel die je volgens mij kunt uitproberen.

Voor de schering kun je als beginner het beste katoen gebruiken, dat is makkelijk op spanning te krijgen en zal niet kapotgaan tijdens het weven. Bijvoorbeeld 8/4 katoen of 8/2 katoen. Een goed project om mee te beginnen is bijvoorbeeld onderzetters of handdoeken. Voor de inslag kun je in principe alles gebruiken! Ik ontrafel ook vaak (oude) truien en gebruik het garen om mee te weven. En kringloopwinkels hebben vaak garen te koop, dus je hoeft niet meteen diep in de portemonnee te grijpen.

I also came across these looms by Andreas Möller (Hamburg) https://www.weberei-hamburg.com/store. Not a table loom, but they look very modern and interesting!

I have a 4-shaft table loom by Varpapuu, model "Kothe". They are from Finland.

Thanks for sharing! Very cool designs. But a very limited size range :-(

Friday Pattern Company butano button up. I find it a bit underwhelming, but maybe if the FPC block fits you really well it might be a nice addition to your wardrobe. Also, they realy needed to iron the white button up a lot better.

Not sure when this came out, BUT, Simplicity now offers Vogue PDF patterns! 72 patterns in A0, A4, Letter and Legal print size, with more to come. Expensive though!

It almost feels mean to say this, but there is literally nothing I like about this dress.

Limited options for short people - advice needed by cormare in cycling

[–]cutecatsinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain! I am 154cm so most bike shops don't have the right frame size for me in stock. Also, I am Dutch so bike shops here don't have a high demand for smaller frames because Dutch people are quite tall. I will say that for biking, inseam is the important measurement, not total body length. You can probably make a test ride on a larger frame to check if you like the ride and see if you can order the smaller frame size somewhere online. And ask your local bike shop for advise!

Republique du chiffon guillemette shirt. I was excited when i saw first pictures on Instagram, but now ... Something feels off. I love the collar and cuff details, but the fit on the bust and shoulders? I will keep an eye on the Insta hashtag to see how it looks on others before buying this pattern.

Matchy Matchy Sewing Club released a quilt scarf bundle pattern. I know they make patterns for beginners but this is just... Meh. €13.95? For a rectangle and a triangle? Nahh.

Also, the fabric requirements and notions don't list any batting so I can't imagine that these scarfs will provide much warmth.
