Description
Things we will learn:
- How to weave pockets that can be stuffed (or not) that are framed with plain weave
- That when making a pocket that is see-through, we don't double the density of the warp.
- How to easily insert sequins.
- How Saris are often woven with warp predominant selvedges to strengthen them.
