Woven waistcoat

While husband and I were on holiday recently in the south of New Zealand, I found Isobel’s weaving studio at 54 Colac Bay Road, Colac Bay. Of course, I had to go in for a look. Isobel Bates is a wonderful woman and experienced weaver. She creates everything from scarves to shirts and waistcoats on both floor and table looms; she also knits and crochets. I purchased a lovely waistcoat from her – the edges are all crocheted which gives it a lovely finish.
