Wvb: Weaver’s Notebook

Textile designers (weavers) who use a loom must provide buyers not with the fabric itself when selling their designs, but with a design sheet containing all the information needed to produce the fabric. However, managing these design sheets often becomes problematic. Sometimes weavers struggle to find or misplace their design sheets, making it difficult to reuse or modify designs later.

This project aims to address this issue by developing a design sheet and personal design index system optimised for the woven textile industry. The system will support weavers in easily creating and managing design sheets. Additionally, it will assist designers in easily locating and managing all their designs through a personal design index.
