Is this woven correctly for Shadow fashion treading system… Janet’s Overshot Dep
One more thought as I Am weaving further I am seeing a faint shadow… should I be using a different color other than the same color as my warp? Will the pattern show up more after wet finishing?
Is this correct for weaving shadow fashion?….way back from Janet’s Overshot Departures class… have not wanted to work on it…. Giving it another try. The circles below are the honeysuckle pattern I think and I don’t remember the one below that which looks like towers to me… I have woven I repeat of the Shadow fashion lift plan with tabby…. I can’t see what the pattern is…. Probably need to keep weaving… thinking 6 repeats to far a similar size to the other patterns already woven to look somewhat symmetrical… Thanks for the help… embarrassed that this has sat so long… but hoping with the knowledge I have gained it will be easier!!???? As I kept weaving it was easier… so what i have learned in the Handweaving Academy has definitely paid off!

Progress! 4 repeats completed. I see the shadow!!! Now I just have to remember the name of the pattern below it so I can finish with that and try the next pattern… Does anyone remember the pattern below… I will look through the notes… apparently I did not mark off well what patterns I had already done!!! Oops…

The little bit of shadow fashion that I see at the top edge looks right to me! Shadow fashion is definitely hard to see until you’ve woven at least a couple of inches.
Shadow fashion is really just swapping the tabby and pattern shuttles, so that the thread that’d usually be tabby is weaving the pattern picks and the thread that’d usually be pattern is weaving the tabby picks. With the tabby heavier than the pattern and having more contrast, the pattern is harder to see. I suppose someone thought it looked like a “shadow” of itself or something? I think of it as ghost fashion, which also helps me to not confuse shadow fashion with shadow weave, which is an entirely different and unrelated thing.
