A day and a half of Saori weaving answering questions about saori looms trying on my saori garments

 Ashley recieved for her birthday a gift of saori classes while they were visiting from out of state.

She had questions about the loom models and weaving techniques 

the second day her family dropped in and her mom tried on my green coat too and loved it. she is a avid sewer and saori handwoven fabric is wonerful to create garments with.
