    My cats fall over and play dead when I put any clothes on them. Frankie seems much more appreciative and cooperative with you. Love, love, love this jacket on you!

    You are so fearless about cutting into your fabric, even with curves! That amazes me to no end!
    I guess I am more fearful of cutting into my precious handwoven fabric because I also dye the yarn/fiber as well as spinning and plying the yarn.

    • @AndreaAlexander
      @AndreaAlexander  3 года назад

      I look a lot more fearless on camera than I am in real life! I definitely have to work up the courage to make the first cut 🤣 I have yet to work on a project made with my own handspun, and I know for sure that I'm going to be a lot more anxious about cutting into that!

    This was so much fun to watch! That loom is amazing - and everything is so smartly put together like the bobbin winder...and what type of pirns are you using? I'd love to get some of those. I can't afford the loom but the pirns maybe :) The jacket is amazing! I can never get sleeves to fit and your pattern looks like a perfect fit...and your cat is so beautiful....such a happy healthy kitty! Thanks for sharing :)

    • @AndreaAlexander
      @AndreaAlexander  4 года назад

      Thank you so much for your kind compliments!! 😌💕
      The Saori shuttles come with these super bobbins that are essentially just thick plastic straws, and they work pretty well! Is that what you were referring to?
      For the fit, I actually practiced making the "Demeter Dress" pattern twice as it was supposed to be made (so I have two basically identical dresses), and that was the only reason my sleeves turned out half decent 🤣 I'm not super confident with sewing, but practicing twice on normal fabric before attempting it on my handwoven helped me a lot!!
      Thank you so much for watching my video! I really appreciate your kindness and support 🥰

    Love the gathered detail!
    And in general, how long does it take you to dress the loom - I have a love/hate relationship with that task ;)

    • @AndreaAlexander
      @AndreaAlexander  4 года назад

      Thank you so much!! With the pre-wound warps, it usually takes me about 1-1.5 hours, whereas with a "normal" warp it's probably closer to 2 hours or so. It's definitely not my favorite task haha I usually get through it by blasting fun music and taking a stretch break somewhere in the middle!
