Just popping in to say that I love everything about your chair project given my focus on weaving functional textiles and my desire to weave some upholstery fabric this year (right after these napkins and then some garment yardage). I look forward to reading more about your process!
Thanks Megan! It's so nice to know other people are interested in this project :) Napkins, yardage and upholstery all sound like great future projects, there's so much to weave...
Such a great read. I would love to talk to you about the low waste pattern as I just ordered some rayon online. See you soon I hope. And save a card or two for me please!
I love your chair project including the history and your connection with Opa. Have you written about your weaving for the chairs? I am interested in the makeup of the original fabric (wool or blend) and how you picked pattern and yarn.
It's neat to know you're starting a similar project! I promise I will share more about the fabric composition next time, I wanted to have the chairs back and in use first - it'll be easier to think about it once I can experience them and compare my cloth to the original.

It's the endless rabbit hole!

Oooh yes, lets have a sewing date soon!

I see I'm a little anxious :) I will look forward to your next newsletter. I am planning the same type of project, chairs made by my father in law.
