Embroidering on Hand Woven Fabric
If you would like to embellish your hand woven (or knitted or crocheted) fabric with embroidery, but aren’t quite sure how to do it, then I have some suggestions for you.

Quick and Easy Clip On Pouches to Weave on Potholder Looms
Our small dog inspired me to weave a clip on pouch to carry hand sanitizer.
She picked up a chicken bone when we were walking and I had to stick my fingers in her mouth to get it out.
Oh, so in need of getting my hand cleaned off quickly!
I decided that NOT having to stick a messy hand in my pocket was a great idea, so I came up with clip on pouches to carry hand sanitizer.
Then, I wove up a stack of potholder squares to play with different ways of exploring color and texture and also different kinds of hanging loops.
I also figured out different ways of connecting clips, toggles and clamps.
This is a quick and easy project and would make a great gift!

If you want to weave with bulky yarn on a pin loom, it can be challenging.

When you weave using 2 nails at a time on a pin loom, you can open up all kinds of possibilities for working with art yarns, fabric strip yarn and other bulky yarns.
It’s quick and easy and adds so much creative potential to pin loom weaving. Yay!
