I Iove to weave. My body craves the rhythmic motion. I began weaving after years of sewing with a desire to go one step further and create my own fabric for designing and sewing garments. My design inspirations come from everywhere, sometimes even dreams. But they formulate during the many hours spent at the loom throwing the shuttle back and forth. I’m always thinking about the next great piece.
Please peruse my website and contact me if you would like to place an order. I love “meeting” my customer, even if it’s thru the world wide web!
Barbara's garments are expertly woven using the best yarns. They are fashionable and timeless. Barbara designs each piece for comfort and style. I can not say enough about her textiles.
Barbara Holloway's work is the best in the business. Her color sense, weaving, techniques, and construction of her garments are just wonderful. A pro who's been doing this for so many years never seems to tire or lose interest in color trends, and current fashion styles. The relaxed fit and drape of her work makes it perfect for any season. She's the real deal.
Creating handwoven clothing is complex-from choosing yarn colors that complement and enliven each other, to the technical process of weaving cloth, and finally to the knowledge of construction so the finished pieces are a pleasure to wear. Barbara Holloway's handwoven garments encompass all of these elements: beauty, technique, and comfort.
I was blessed to have the good fortune of meeting Barbara and seeing her beautiful line of handmade woven clothing designs about 15+ years ago. I first saw her designs at the LaQuinta Art Festival and immediately fell in love with her clothing. To me the designs are timeless. Her hand woven fabrics are beautiful and their feel is divine. Over the years I have acquired a triangle wrap, a twisted shawl, a bolero, a vest, jackets and scarves. I am constantly getting compliments whenever | wear them. Each one is original and they can dress up or dress down your outfit. Another plus for me is that they are so easy to travel with as they do not wrinkle. Barbara is so easy to work Barbara is so easy to work with and is willing to create your exact size if you are loving an item but it is not a perfect fit. She is also great with what colors work best with your skin tone and hair color. Barbara is an amazing artist and designer. I will continue to follow her for years to come.
