The Peachtree Handspinners Guild will meet Saturday, March 23, 2019, 1:00 to 4:30 pm in the fellowship hall of North Decatur Presbyterian Church (NDPC). The door will be open at 12:30 with the business meeting starting at 1:00.
The program for the March meeting will be presented by Paula Vester on Band Weaving. All over the world, people have the need for narrow strips of cloth; to wrap around bundles or packages, to trim bags and clothing, to make ties for all sorts of things people need to carry or close. You can cut strips off of old pieces of clothing, but throughout history, people have also simply woven narrow bands of cloth for those uses.
During the program-time, we will see some different tools people use to weave narrow bands. Attendees will also have a chance to weave their own narrow bands. We will use Tape Looms, backstrap looms, inkle looms, card-weaving sleds and other forms of looms to weave. If you have played with this type of weaving bring your looms and your own examples to show off.
