    This article presents a multidisciplinary research project that involves a digital application developed for ikat weaving communities from Chonnabot District in Khon Kaen Province in Thailand. The app is aimed at generating new pattern designs based on traditional textile patterns and that correlate to weaving cultures. The structure of this article is as follows. First, it explains digitization and cultural heritage, followed by ikat weaving, a cultural heritage of the Chonnabot district, and the traditional skirt and changes to reed′s width. Second, research methodology is discussed, comprising two main tasks: designing patterns and making mudmee fabrics. We also explain a reason for applying a mathematical theory, specifically frieze group, as a set of rules to generate patterns, and outline the main steps for using the app. Third, we present results, including virtual pattern designs and real woven fabrics, and assessment of the app′s usability. Next, we discuss feedback from the participants as well as the weavers′ behavior in relation to the app′s usability and weaving, along with suggestions for improving the app. We conclude that the app is useful and has potential for teaching and learning for textile design courses. However, the app needs further development to correspond with the weavers′ view on the ikat weaving process. Overall, this collaborative project, including design and weaving tasks, enables knowledge exchange and is beneficial for design students and weavers as well as supports their livelihood.

    Ethnomathematics focuses on the interaction between culture and mathematics for traditional cultures whose mathematics is not widely known, such as the Karen culture of northern Thailand. Studies of traditional methods such as weaving, have shown that people who produce the textiles employ mathematical knowledge that can even include advanced concepts. This article presents a collaborative project between the authors and the Thai Tribal Crafts Fair Trade Company Limited (TTC), and its traditional Karen weavers in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We aim to enable the Karen weavers to preserve their culture of backstrap weaving and transfer this experiential knowledge and skills to their cultural inheritors. In 2023, four pairs of Karen weavers participated in a design-and-weaving project. They created textile patterns, using a digital application by which frieze groups were set as a rule in design. This resulted in photographic images of the desired patterns, and subsequently, these participants made the woven fabrics. In this article, the authors focus on how these participants translated the photographic images to the physical weaving process. The concept of symmetries and visualization of information are used as analytical tools to elicit and verify information. We present two main findings: (i) challenges in weaving frieze patterns the same as the desired patterns, (ii) the various number and arrangement of rods used to create the textile patterns.
