Gallery Highlights


The gallery had mostly things that couldn't be in the fashion show. This vest was an extremely fine weave with subtle texture. Very exquisite fabric.



This was a reversible patterned scarf. I've never seen a pattern like it before.


Someone upholstered this bench with hand woven fabric! The craftsmanship is inspiring, it reminds me of the arts and crafts era. They won a prize for it!



Close up of the bench fabric. It's called pique (pee-kay). I found out it's very hard to weave.


A tapestry made completely of sewing thread. I can't even imagine how long this took.
