Does anyone weave? If so what on? I work in a weaving workshop. Actually, I'm the seamstress but I like to weave.

Also, does anyone like to sew? I've done quilts but not since I was a kid. Mostly, I like to make clothing for costumes and such.

Applescruff I used to sew more than I do now.Did all the halloween costumes,Christmas outfits,was very fun. And I had good intentions on learning to quilt this winter but its gotten away on me now.But I do crochet and retaught myself to knit this winter but never made anything tho.But I want to know, what is the difference between sewing and weaving?I thought they were terms that meant the same thing.Maybe I know how to weave and just dont know it.It could go on my list of domestic capabilities!!!!

shamarian,

Weave as in to produce cloth from the basic components: string and more string. This generally implies the use of a loom either hand loom, table loom, or flyshuttle. This website has a picture of a loom: http://www.berea.edu/galleryV/Coverlet.HTML
Actually, that's where I work, although it's a lot less warehouse-y now.

The hardest part of learning to weave is getting the loom. After that it's great!
