My new robe!


There it is! I built this robe out of my recent big loom work! I had some variable cotton and I turned it into yard after yard of cotton cloth. Then I decided to turn it into a new robe. I definitely needed it and this one is spectacular. It's mine!

Now I am ready for new work. I am going to start setting up for a new cotton collection. Next output will be fresh kitchen dishtowels.

A new blouse!

Well, today I was busy! I have been thinking for some time about a design for a blouse. I wove some beautiful cloth a while a go, but I have not been able to figure out the design for quite a while. I have made about three or four different designs, but I have not been happy until this morning. Today it came to me so easily. I took half of one design and half of a different one and together the appearance works. I used the arms of one and the front and back of another. Together the appearance is perfect.So today I cut the cloth and put together the blouse.


Now I can start thinking about the next project. I have some wonderful white cotton that I think will make great things to but on when going to the swimming pool.
Now I have to go to work on the design.

A new Tallis!

Oh my gosh, it is surely summer!! School is out and now that I am not working on the schools it is fun to be back to putting all my time on weaving and making clothing. I just finished making a new tallis today.


It is made of blended wool and silk. The color is blueberry.
The atturah has the complete blessing.

In the second picture is a close picture of the cloth so that the pattern in visible.
The pattern is a cloth weaving pattern that looks like woven threads.

It is good to be back on this work. After working so much on scarves, it is nice to be back working on a tallis again.
