Handmade Saori Weaving Studio’s Projects

Who wouldn’t want to carry their books in this amazing backpack made by Katie?
Yes, handwoven fabric does make wonderful shorts! Although Katie made these, Sarah has stolen them and frequently wears them to work.
Don’t you love the beautiful rainbow of colors in this vest made by Katie?
Several times a year, Sarah teaches a bag making class where students learn to create a lined purse based on their handwoven cloth. This is one of the class examples.
Another example of a Mobius scarf. This one made by Sarah.
This drapey vest really flatters all body styles. This may be one of Katie’s favorite patterns.
Sarah swears that adding this hummingbird banner to her backyard really did increase the number of hummingbird at her feeder!
This jacket feels like a hug when worn. It was made by Sarah using both commercial and handspun yarns. This gorgeous piece became a 50th Birthday present for an equally gorgeous woman!
This garment combines Katie’s love for weaving with her lifetime of knitting experience.
This cute little vest is quick to make and doesn’t take much fabric! This one was made by Sarah. Details on the skirt can be found on another photo in this gallery.
Using Saori weaving and an old pair of jeans, Katie makes these practical but creative purses.
This piece was made from a Saori Ready-Made warp. The colors reminded Sarah of the wonderful skirts she frequently saw in Texas and Mexico. The pattern is from one of the Saori pattern books but is also reminiscent of the Mexican tiered skirts.
Katie loves making these adorable little creatures!
Sarah made this 100% organic cotton jacket in a more tailored style than her usual garment creation. Totally corporate office appropriate!
The “Place Mat” top is a common Saori pattern. The fun is making it your own through your weaving and your finishing touches. This example, made by Katie, features braided fringe running down the front left side.
Upcycling thrift store denim with weaving is a passion of Katie’s.
Often when weaving without intent, there is enough cloth to make more than one item. In this example, Sarah made both a Japanese poncho and purse from this purple cloth using a ready-made warp.
Sarah created this Stole while envisioning the colors and the movement of the ocean.
This vest was made with Sarah’s leftover yarn scraps from knitting. It is still one of her favorite winter pieces.
Purposefully allowing shrinkage can create gorgeous pieces! Sarah warped this piece with mostly cotton and small stripes of wool. It was woven with all cotton and then washed in hot water to create this great ruffled/ruched look.
Sarah made this using a heart shaped metal purse frame and cloth leftover from another project.
Baby Hat by Sarah Dauro
The perfection of this piece is truly a credit to the maker. And the hat Sarah made is nice, too.
Another drapey vest made by Katie.
This top, sewn by Sarah, is another great example of the wonderful Japanese patterns available in the Saori books.
These “funky” scarves are worn more like jewelry than traditional scarves. This particular one was made by Katie.
Here is another example of a Placemat Top. This one features cloth where Sarah was playing with color transitions.
Sarah wove this cloth for a commission piece and then sewed it into a tunic.
Stop by the studio to see the variety of hats we have in stock for both men and women.
Once upon a time Sarah had to go to a wedding and her loom wouldn’t fit in the car. This woven t-shirt resulted from cutting (warp) strips into the shirt and then weaving with various yarns and a needle while Jay drove the car.
This entire bag is made from recycled materials. The outer portion is from clothes that Sarah cut into strips and then wove into cloth for the bag. The interior is lined with fabric from an old bed sheet.
This joint project between Sarah, Katie & Jay resulted in one of the most fun and functional pieces in the studio!
