T-Shirt Weaving 101 - Learn the 2 different types of weaving

As promised in my first video, How to Cut Up the Back of your T-shirt, here's a step by step tutorial to show you exactly how to weave! It's super simple.

I learned this from watching Adam Saaks. Look him up if you don't know him. He's like the god of t-shirt cutting.

Part 1 is the basic weave, some people call it the tornado weave.

Part 2 I call it the twisting weave because I have no idea what it's called. I saw Adam Saaks doing it, and I assume this is what he was doing, he does it so fast it's hard to tell haha.

I hope this clarifies how to weave!!

Just remember UNDER/OVER
or UNDER, OVER, TWIST.

oh my god, i've seen a ton of tutorials on weaving and this is by far the best i've ever seen lol. usually you cant see what the hell the people are doing with what strings because they like to pick a black shirt or the camera is at weird angle or too far away. but i love how clean and simple your drawings are :). every step is shown and explained thoroughly :D. thank you so much!

Salina...it takes a big person to share something great! I am an artist residing in Seattle and I hand-paint on shirts...this would add some ooomph to my creations. Thanks!!! This is a valuable lesson. God bless!!

Thanks so much Selina. My friend dies thus all the time but she keeps it a secret how she does it. Now I know and can use this technique on some if my shirts. Thanks again!

@salinabear is it possible to do this on the sides, instead of the back? :)
