A new weave and a new jacket…
I have finished yet another jacket (the 5th in 4 months) and a new Sulawesi weave, which I aim to make another bag out of. I will start with the Sulawesi belt. It is in wool, 24+6 tablets. My own designs , as usual. I modified my elk design and I belive they look better…

Another vintage coat…
After sewing my green coat from a 1950-pattern, I felt inspired to sew a 70’s coat with fluffy lining. So I found this pattern from 1975 on eBay and decided to use up some of my medieval fabric stash (diamond kypert?). I also bought some faux/fake fur (black curly, like a small lamb) for lining…

Another belt fresh off the loom
I have been working on this belt on and off for the last month or so, in paralell with sewing my coat. I do like the color combination, but I need to draw some new patterns for 16 cards. I seem to weave the same designs over and over. I do like weaving the edges…

Some sewing.
I have done some sewing this last week(s). First a real-life coat, which turned out really bad. I have not done ordinary sewing for very long. So I decided to come back to my comfort zone and do a new Viking apron dress. I have wanted for a long time to try a version with…

Blue and purple
I really like the combination of blue and purple, but I feel that it is too “girly” somehow. Now I have finished a belt in blue and a quite pinkish purple. I do love these colors, but I still feel that I should weave with more grown up colors next time. Well, here is my…

That dreaded pebble weave…
I really love pebble weave and I really hate pebble weave (or 2-hole weaving). I love the simplicity of the 2 colors and the little contrasting dots. But anyone who has tried it knows the problem with the cards going all over the place. My solution is to support them on a piece a card…

Automn belt and Merry Christmas!
I got inspired this autumn when we went to the swiss mountains. It was October and the colors where just splendid. So when I got home I gathered the colors from the trees I had seen and decided to weave a belt with this combination soon. Well, it’s done. It is not my favourite, but…

Autumn inspiration
I finished off this last belt in record time. Only one week from set-up to completion. I drafted alot of new designs these last months and now I got the chance to try some of them. In addition to the moose and birds, I am quite fond of my pack of dogs, with 3 puppies…

Sneak preview…
I started a new belt, and this time I really love how the colors come together. I am also trying some new designs of animals, real or imaginary. I am happy to present you my elk/moose couple! I am still quite fond of various leaves and how they can be combined with swirles and other…
