Modern weaving projects like you've never seen—within easy reach of anyone.

image of the cover of the bookWeaving is a satisfying hobby for making home or clothing accessories that look plucked from your favorite stores. Here are 25 Pinterest-worthy projects for creating earrings, clutches, pillows, wall hangings, and more, all organized by skill level. From complete beginner to intermediate, Weaving Within Reach allows you to craft at your comfort level, even if you don’t yet know the difference between the warp and the weft.

Lacking a loom? Most of the materials can be woven on found objects—such as an embroidery hoop or cardboard box—or achieved with a simple over-under pattern using no loom at all. As you progress, there are plenty of exciting designs for a frame loom to keep you inspired. Chapters and sample projects include:

Non-Loom Projects: Chunky Basketweave Pillow; Twined Rope Bowl; Velvet Ribbon Bolster; Twill Tape Bento Bag
Made-Loom Projects: Wild Grass Wall Hanging; Open-Weave Place Mats; Rope Statement Necklace; Twill Cowl
Frame-Loom Projects: About-the-Town Tote; Trellis Hemstitched Clutch; Windowpane Hand Towel
With a detailed introduction, stunning lifestyle and step-by-step photographs, and a helpful resource section, Weaving Within Reach unravels the possibilities of the beautiful things you can make with your hands.
