I used this warp to weave two identical cushion covers and a small piece from the warp end.
Both covers were woven as follows:
Using 16/2 creme, I wove 2 picks alternating basketweave and hemstitched before weaving 24 picks of straight draw (1234), also in 16/2 creme. This will form a hem for the finished piece.
Next came the border – 8 picks pf 8/4 peacock in straight draw (1234).
Then the pattern TAW undulating – in 8/4 yellow (jaune fonce).
After weaving 10 repetitions of the pattern, I wove the 8 picks of peacock straight draw border (4321 to keep the pattern the same as the yellow section), 24 picks of 16/2 creme in straight draw (again 4321), and finally, 2 picks alternating basketweave for the hemstitching.
To use the warp end, I took the 8/4 peacock yarn and wove 2 rows of alternating basketweave for hemstitching, the same 8 pick border as for the covers (had to do 9 picks at the final end to get the basketweave for the hemstitch started at the right side of the cloth), and 4 repetitions of pattern using the 8/4 yellow.
Once the weaving was finished, I removed the fabric from the loom, machine washed it on a normal warm water cycle, cut the pieces apart, trimmed loose ends, pressed with a hot iron and dried.
The finished pieces measure 42cm, 43cm and 19cm in length (not including hems ie 8/4 cotton portion only) and 42.5cm in width.
