Maori flax weaving can only be learnt the old way, by sitting, by listening, by touching and by doing. Start with a full leaf and pull off the hard midrib. Split it into strips of an even width right across the leaf. Before weaving, you have to soften the strips by shell or the blunt edge of a butter knife. Scrape the flax in each direction, pulling to the end of the strip each way. Hold the shiny side of the leaf facing you with the stalk pointing downwards.
