Jewel Colors on White Viscose

My first try using viscose as the main piece. This white viscose twill is exquisitely soft, with a silk-like feel, and has a great drape. The jewel-tone floral print is also very soft, making the whole tallit easy and comfortable to wear. The viscose does show some wrinkling in use, and I would not recommend this tallit for someone who wears a tallit frequently.

Viscose is inexpensive, and I was thinking that this would be a great alternative for someone who wants a pretty tallit for a special occasion, such as a Bat Mitzvah, but is not going to be attending synagogue often enough to justify spending a great deal of money on a silk tallit. The low-price fabric and simple design make this tallit very affordable.

This one is now sold, but I have more of the fabrics and can make another one with a few days' notice.

Blue and Lavender on Silver

Again, a change of pace. I seem to go from bright to subtle, from subtle to bright. I had this tallit in the plans for a while, and last week I had time to make it. I usually work on natural fabrics -- silk and cotton -- but I do like this crinkle polyester. It's very light-weight, and completely fuss-free as it doesn't show any wrinkles. (The wrinkles are already there!)

The blue dupioni silk is a soft medium hue, and so is the grayish lavender dupioni. In the picture, both colors are stronger than in real life. If you are in doubt about the exact colors, ask me to send you fabric samples.

The Shema is hand-embroidered on the atarah in silver.

This one is sold, but I have more of the fabrics to make another one. Please inquire.
