Oh my LORD I want my youth back I want to relive my life. What you are doing is so amazing. (leave the eyelash yarn in your twill). I have been so inspired by Saori KZread clips, I have now gotten myself a Saori 60 wood loom. HIs name is Hank. Now I have 5 looms. A table loom, floor loom, a Wolf Pup, a tapestry loom, and Hank. So excited to create I don't even care what I make. Well Girl you keep at it. I love what you are doing.

Your comment absolutely made my day 🥹💕 You have an amazing loom collection!! I hope you and Hank have lots of fun creative adventures together 🥰🥰🥰 (yes, I decided to keep the eyelash yarn! It was too silly to take out).

I live in Tokyo and am going to my first Saori workshop tomorrow. After years of interest in textiles, quilts, and yarn, I am beyond excited to start weaving. Your videos are so enthusiastic and informative. What an experience in San Diego!

Awesome opportunity for you!! Thank you for sharing.

The 'test' piece (Coat) you made would work REALLY well for Boro . This is a Japanese sewing (mending) technique and you can easily use some of your off cut weaving. Incorporate some Sashiko with left over weaving thread and I think you might create something you really love. PS I am so glad you have this opportunity ... follow your dreams.

Thank you so much!! 🥰 It's always amazing to me how differently the garments turn out, even though they're all the same sewing pattern.

What fun! I’m jealous… But please tell the shop owner that I would be *thrilled* if she decided to sell patterns/layouts/instructions for these garments I’m seeing! I have such a stash of Saori yardage waiting for me to feel confident about cutting into it.

Incredible that you went to Japan to learn to weave. I love Japan so much and I’m so happy you’re living your best life by doing all these fantastic things. Enjoy!

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I can’t believe you’re in San Diego, I also live in SD and I didn’t even know this store/weaving shop existed. I’m a beginner weaver and will definitely have to visit and hopefully take some workshops.

Whaaaat, no way!! San Diego is absolutely beautiful. I'll be here for another week if you want to come and weave with us! You can email Suzanne directly at Suzanne@WabiSabiWeaving.com to book a session 😃 (no pressure, of course! if it doesn't work out this time, she'd love to have you any other time 💕)

I love your handwoven garments and you make a dynamite model!

I'm going to try to sew as much as I possibly can and hopefully make a dent in that stash! 😅💕 I hope there's one nearby you, these studios are so so so much fun.

I enjoy your videos so much! Your enthusiasm and joy are infectious, and your bravery with color and design is such an inspiration to me. I know I’ll never be as free and expressive in my weaving as you are with yours, but that’s okay. You help nudge me out if my comfort zone enough to keep my own projects interesting. Thanks for making these videos and taking us along with you on your amazing adventures! You are an absolute ray of sunshine! ❤️ ☀️❤️☀️❤️☀️

Inspiring and so cute!

Yay!! So excited to see a new video from you, and this was perfect timing since my Saori loom is currently out for delivery. I'm looking forward to some more weaving videos from you!

As I understand it, they no longer produce the 4-shaft loom, but the looms can still be found at some studios or purchased second-hand. I knew I had to give it a try when I saw that Suzanne had one!!!

Oh, I totally forgot to mention that! It's just quilter's tape. I used it to mark exactly where on the fabric I wanted to make my cuts, then I would sew a straight line on either side of it, remove the tape, and cut the fabric. I hope that makes sense! Thank you so much for watching!!

Isit possible to get the pattern for the vest with the drawstring collar?
