LAUREN - SPINNER AND WEAVER: 

In one hand Lauren holds some fleece 
and in the other hand she holds a hand 
spindle upon which she spins her yarn. 
She is wearing a dress that I wove on my 
loom out of strips of fabric.  I  designed, 
sewed, stuffed, and painted her face.  

Lauren was a challenge project for my 
sewing guild.  We were given a piece of 
fabric and I had to do something with it. 
I didn't know what to do so I cut it into 
strips.

Lauren is named after one of my 
granddaughters.  
LAUREN'S HEAD:
TOP PART OF LAUREN'S BODY:
HANDWOVEN FABRIC:  I threaded my 
loom with a Summer and Winter Weft 
Face Block pattern in 4 harnesses. The 
warp was 8/4 carpet warp and the weft 
consisted of ½" strips of two different 
cotton fabrics.
