Did you know that the stems and leaves of common flowers can be harvested, dried, and used to weave grasscloth? Stems and/or leaves of day lilies, irises, and daffodils, among others, work well for this purpose. The process is simple and the leaves only need to be trimmed, washed, and dried before being woven to create a sturdy fabric. This project is also the perfect vehicle for showing off your hand-twisted cordage!
In this project, designer Patricia Morton gives you all the information you need to get started harvesting, curing, and weaving. Not only does the PDF include full instructions on preparing the stems and leaves, but it also includes weaving and sewing instructions for a set of rigid heddle–woven grasscloth book covers.
Try garden-based weaving with these placemats, perfect for showing off your hand-twisted cordage!
