Mini projects and what I learned from them (part 3)

Waistcoat project – In this project I used a progressive approach by weaving the collar first on its own little shaped cardboard loom with long ends hanging off the bottom. When I finished weaving the collar I removed it from the collar loom and attached it to the large cardboard assembled loom to weave the rest of the garment. I warped the waistcoat with a selvedge at the top of garment and ends left long at the hem to darn in at the end. All other edges were finished while weaving. The progressive approach worked really well. I determined to find a way to make a continuous warp to avoid all the ends that needed darning in at the hem.
