Seat weaving remains a popular for many weaving hobbyists, especially those who restoring rustic furniture. Chinese seagrass is one popular medium used being woven ropes that look like classic twisted rush. Much cheaper than rush fiber made from cattails, twisted seagrass was often used in school woodworking classes, where children were taught the checkerboard patterns to weave. The four by four open weave pattern is a derivative of the more basic checkerboard patterns, providing open spaces in the weave.
Hi Beverly, I wanted to thank you so much for this video. My wife and I followed your video closely (several times over) and got such great results with our 1st attempt at weaving. It even features on our channel, I added your video to my description as a recommendation for others interested. Thank you again, such a fantastic tutorial!!
Thank you so much for such a nice comment. I am so happy you have found one of our videos helpful. It thrills me to no end that you were able to be successful on your first "attempt"........thank you for your kind words.........
Thanks so much for putting this video up! I am very excited to tackle my first weaving project!
I am so glad you found this video......good luck on your project! Let me know how it turns out.........
thankyou for sharing that!
going to have a go ....
You are so welcome
Wow, what an easy to follow tutorial! Thank you, in particular for explaining what happens on the bottom, this helped me tremendously as my project was at a complete standstill after the warp being I was so confused about that separate strand. For days I searched videos/tutorials and you were the only one that mentioned it, very helpful, thanks again!
Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful to you. When I learned how to make this style stool, I had the same problem with the look on the bottom of the seat. Fortunately, I had a teacher with me to explain it. So, when I made the video I figured if I had a problem understanding the underside, then others might have the same problem....so I made sure to mention it.
Thank you Beverley. Your video inspired me to restore two 45 year old stools from my school days. Also it made it easier with your clear and concise instructions.
Thank you! I am glad you are going to be able to restore those chairs.
Beverly you do great work & to show us how its done😁
Thank you!.......I appreciate that.......I had a great teacher.
Thank you for this video. It was so useful for me to learn how to reweave an old stool which I got from my mum when she wa cleaning out their house. It’s lovely to see it back to its former glory. Thank you!
You are so welcome and thank you for those kind words. I am happy it was of help to you. It is always such a pleasure to hear someone be able to restore a precious item from their past.......Beverly
Simply excellent instructions with some encouragement woven throughout! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Beverly! I followed your instructions for my chair. It was so helpful!
That is wonderful! I am so glad you found it helpful to you.........
Thank you. I found it very old little child's rocking chair with no seat so I'm going to try something like this to make a new seat for it -it's pretty much square, this will be interesting, it's for a very small child so I think it'll be strong enough thank you.
You will be amazed at how strong the seagrass can be. I have a bench woven with seagrass and sit on it all the time! I would love to see a picture of your project when you get it done.
Very nice 👌
👍👍👍Thanks for a nice and interesting video.
I love it Baverly. I always want to know how to weave a bench. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thank you.....I am so glad you found it useful
Beverly Ashton Vickers you’re welcome!
It’s very helpful! ❤️
An excellent tutorial Beverly, one I could follow and understand as a I am a novice. Just a quick question Beverly, if my chair seat is not square but is a trapezium shape where the front and rear rails are parallel but but the front rail is longer , how does this affect the weft? Do I now need to add more than two turns around the front rail?
Thank you so much.
