I am taking Helen Hiebert’s Weave Through Winter class for the third year in a row. I want to make the 30 days of weaving a bit more cohesive this year than in the past. To that end, I decided to make a book to house all of my pieces. That way they will have a similar size and can all be viewed together. The book is inspired by the weaving class itself. I created a woven book structure that is sturdy and looks nice on its own. Adding woven pieces will only make it better.
To make a woven book you need a page template, lots of paper ( I used heavy cardstock weight magazine pages), and some patience. Here are my results.

A finished spread. I will add a woven piece to one side of the page and leave the other side as is.
