In this course, I’ll show you how to make a mini tapestry from start to finish. You’ll learn beginner weaving skills as well as three types of stitches: rya, tabby, and soumak.

First, I'll set you up for success:

Which tools are essential for weaving
Which yarns work great for this project
How to make a cardboard loom
How to design a mini tapestry

Then we'll dive into weaving:

Attaching a warp
Weaving a header
How to weave rya, tabby, and soumak stitches (the VIPs!)
Joining edges
How to finish your weaving
How to solve common problems

I’ve created a digital download to accompany this course that has a list of recommended materials, as well as links for where to buy them online. This craft doesn’t require a lot of expensive tools and materials. In fact, you may already have everything you need to get started right in your home!

In the digital guide, you’ll also find templates that you can draw or design on top of to plan your tapestry, including some that I’ve designed for you where you can simply choose your own colors and materials to use.

Throughout the class, there will be opportunities for you to study the stitch I’m making. I encourage you to pause the video at these moments so you can take your time to replicate what I’m doing. Take as much time as you need and remember that you can always pull out your stitches and start again if you need to.

As you work through the class, keep me posted on what you're doing, from the early design stages to your finished tapestry, by posting photos to the project gallery. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out in the discussions section and I’ll help in any way I can.
