I have a bit of extra time on my hands today, so I wanted to introduce a very handy tool that I think all you handmade craft lovers should know about.
Our store’s "foru-ami" weaving patterns might look interesting but also seem a bit difficult to some of you. But with the free software from "Craft Band Labo," that worry is a thing of the past!
What’s so amazing about this software is that you can simply select the type of band, its width, number of strands, colors, and weaving method, and you'll get a preview of the finished design. It even automatically calculates the required length of the bands, so you can check and revise the design you have in your head before you actually start creating it.
For anyone who struggles to visualize their ideas or wants to avoid wasting materials on a failed project, this will be your most reliable partner.
I know firsthand the pain and rough hands that come from tightly weaving standard PP bands, so the high-quality images of the completed works on their website really moved me.
I truly think it’s incredible that someone can create this kind of software all on their own. Just as everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, I feel like I can only ever create "second-hand" things, but whenever I come across a brilliant tool, I am always so impressed by the skills behind it.
If you’re someone who finds it hard to come up with design ideas or wants to check the finished look beforehand, I highly recommend you take a look at the "Craft Band Labo" website. It might just be the thing that makes your handmade crafting life even more enjoyable.
