I took a class with Shirley Adams a while back. She demoed needlepunch and pin-weaving. She also showed off some of her clothes and bags that she’d made with the 2 techniques. I haven’t tried any of her patterns. They were not recommended by some local sewing friends. However, I’m intrigued by the idea. I sorta do the same thing, like when I turned my t-shirt into a cheongsam. Anyway, I resisted her patterns. I did buy the set of books. I highly recommend them. They are loaded with great information on altering and morphing patterns.
