Triaxial Weaving

With haying season nearly in full swing...

My time is limited for fun stuff like sewing. 

I recently watch a video on Youtube with Mister Domestic

on 

weaving fabrics.

You can watch the basic weaving here....

I really wanted to try the Triaxial weaving 

  butwith ribbon instead of strips of fabric.

(remember...my time is limited...)

I drew out my grid...

Laid down some fusible interfacing with the rough side up...

Started to add my first color...

OF COURSE, IT'S IN BLUES!!!

My second colour....

Coming together...

And Voila!!

I had tumbling blocks!!

BUT.....

When I went to fuse it to the interfacing 

it tried to melt!!

So I just stitched around it and then lightly pressed on the backside.

I think this will be a cute pouch!!

Now....

Let's see if I can do the kalidescope weave!!

Give it a try!!
