Hello weavers!
Have you been longing to transform your handwoven cloth into handwoven clothing? If so, then please accept the Handwoven/Väv Garment Challenge. Handwoven and Väv magasinet are cosponsors of a runway fashion show to be held at Väv, a Swedish handweaving conference in Borås, Sweden in 2011. The editors of Handwoven will select five loom-shaped and five tailored garments for the show. All ten weaving projects will appear in the September/October 2011 issue of Handwoven and be sent to the Swedish conference. The challenge opens on Friday, January 7, but you can take a sneak peek here for photo requirements and important dates. A link will be posted on the home page of weavingtoday.com this Friday.
So, don't be shy. Let your inner designer shine. It's your opportunity for international acclaim (and friendly competition with the Swedes).
Get warped!
