First step in making the weaving form
To make the toile I created a paper pattern from a favourite jacket (see previous post). After sewing it, I drew my adjustments onto the pattern. Now I'm starting to make the weaving form. I photographed the paper pattern and imported it into Adobe Illustrator at actual size.
I traced it as a clean new digital drawing to form the basis for the next phase.
I enlarged the drawing to make it 25% longer and 20% wider than the finished size (to allow for the shrinkage and take-up) and began to create the warping chart on it. (At critical points around the sleeve and shoulder this chart will also need weft information which I am still calculating.)
