You use strips of fabric or ribbon which you weave in layers to make different patterns.
Depending on the pattern, you may have 2 or 3 layers. Depending on the pattern you will have 2-4 colours or different fabrics. The strips of fabric have double sided tape ironed onto them before weaving ( I used a product called Steam a seam 2 ) .
I will add some pics of some of the different patterns I have done.
This pattern I have named Mitsubishi Star. I have used 2 different fabrics , with 3 layers of weaving.
The drink bottle carrier is a different pattern based on patchwork pattern called Tumbling Blocks. In this one I have used three different fabrics and three layers.
I will add some more pictures later.
Where does one learn this technique? Is there a book? It really is lovely!
