Textile Wraps
Learn to Make Your Own Textiles Wrap
I love all the Knitted and Crocheted wraps and shawls on Ravelry but my yarn stash is sadly lacking so I decided to cheer myself up by making a textile wrap.
Wraps are a great way to show off your beautiful textiles skills and you also get the great pleasure of wearing something that no one else owns.
I wrote this tutorial booklet in a way that lets you see exactly how I produced my wrap but at the same time also gives you some ideas about how to design your own individual wrap.
All my textiles books are available as printable digital downloads from Lulu.com.

Melted Fabrics
This wrap isn't actually melted like some of my other pieces but the fabrics are still "melted together" in spirit. "Melted Fabrics" is all about taking old tired fabrics and then mixing them up- using something old, something new, something cheap, something glittery. Embrace the chaos!
Textiles Wrap - Thick and almost sculptural (the wrap, not me!).

Inspiration
I don't just throw you into the construction side of making this wrap, I take you through my design process. I share the things that inspired me: previous projects, photos of details, an ugly knitted sweater and I suggest areas of inspiration for you too.
