A sketch of my overall plan for shirt pattern and a capture of my pixeLoom draft.
The reed is all sleyed--all 312 slots, all 624 threads!
Then it's all tied on and tensioned with a bit of waste thread woven in. Not too bad!
The first few inches of real weaving.
Up close and personal--count 24 vertical threads...that's only one inch!
Overshot design detail. I used two threads of the same thickness of the rest of the weft. The design will be on the bottom of the shirt and on the ends of the sleeves. It's 6 inches from bottom to top on the loom.
An underside view of the fabric so far. Above the overshot design, the weft graduates from dark to lighter blue. The overshot section is rolled up on the cloth beam.
Almost ready to weave the back of the shirt!
More to come...
