Handwoven’s Design Collection 14: Weaving for Baby eBook

What is it about babies that brings out the best in weavers? If the projects in this collection are any indication, those little bundles of joy are also bundles of inspiration. Some of the most delightful, sweet, unusual, and even surprising projects crossed the Handwoven desk when this collection was created—all with a special little one in mind.

We hope you find the ideas in this issue right for your favorite little one. If your weaving needs to transcend baby projects, you can easily translate the weave structures and textures in these projects into other items, from table linens to clothing. So, enjoy exploring these possibilities, and consider spending a quiet moment with a baby next time you’re in the weaving doldrums-you may find just the inspiration you need!
