<\/figure>\nJenni Jimmerson has been creating handwoven wearable garments for over forty-five years. Her attention to the details of garment construction, and to how the garment fits are unmatched.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My experience with weaving, sewing and designing garments started probably in the 90’s. This adventure originated with wanting to create one of a kind wearable clothing. Over the years I have taken workshops to improve my tailoring skills on handwoven fabrics from Heather Winslow and Daryl Lancaster and probably others. I feel these are two of the best for attention to detail in construction, fitting and finishing. When creating a garment, I am likely to use certain sections of various patterns to accomplish an interesting piece from the handwoven cloth, so I appreciate creativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When ANWG was in Bellingham, I was part of the committee to receive, review and accept or decline the entries in the Fashion Show. We also choose the models from friends and guild members. Some garments were modeled by their weaver. It was a very successful show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The job of being a judge on handwoven garments with what I have learned over the years will be a wonderful experience. I look forward to being able to pass on some of what I have learned to others so they may benefit from suggestions and comments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
