Jeanne came by to try out a picccolo loom...


 She tryed on my "artist vest" and decided to buy a  15 pound portable piccolo loom …

 So about 30 mins latter from the  box  Jeanne was weaving.  ( she has a full size saori loom at home she loves it) it was so easy to assemble!

                                      MORE ABOUT THE PICCOLO LOOM HERE




I showed her how to spin cotton briefly on the Charka 


and she was off . she arrived home at her Daughters home where she is staying for the summer and her youngesr granddaughter started weaving at 3 years old! she sent me this photo saying
 "THANKS JILL"

Joan i have know from our local weavers guild for quite a few years. 
She came to the studio with a piece of her  hand spun cotton indigo dyed  cloth she wove over a decade ago and asked me to create  and sew a top for  her out of it.

  So I made a muslin and started to go to work….
  She spun and wove a magnificent piece!

  Here is my finished design before I mailed it off to her.


   She loved and took one of my saori scarves home "calliope 2 " ... a fraternal twin pair I wove Etsy shop like to calliope 1 scarf
 Peaceful weaving in the redwoods

    1. no pattern .This is my own design . i have been sewing since 10 years old. but i encourage you create your own! The saori books , espically the clothing designs, ( i have them in my etsy shop), is great best place to start and just be free and tune into your hidden talents.
