Circular Tapestry: Design Patterns and Accessories

Meet Ángela, the artist behind Poetryarn, as she shows you her influences and what she is drawn to creatively. In addition, she presents you with the best materials for creating a circular bag, which will be your final project.

Start learning the key aspects to weave any circular pattern with tapestry and create a magic circle by seeing the main stitches of the technique. Discover what loops are and how to work with them, how to enlarge pieces, how to weave by closing each turn, and how to work with several threads at once.

Learn how to interpret the circular diagrams, how to design patterns using colored cells, and how they are formed based on repetition wedges. Ángela shows you the best combinations to create a good piece and tells you which stitch is best depending on the polygon you use in your design.

Next, it’s time to go from paper to fabric. Begin to weave your circular pattern step by step, putting into practice everything you have learned. Join both sides of your bag by sewing through the loops, sew on the zipper, mount the adjustable handle, and add the decorations.

By the end of this course, you will have created a contemporary and multifunctional piece to suit you and will be able to design any circular piece you want.
