The making of the mudcloth fabric is a time-consuming process, normally taking four days to a week to complete depending on weather. Each piece is made of 100% cotton, and is completely and totally hand-made. Normally mudcloth is made totally from scratch. The men start the process by weaving cotton thread on a loom. The loom is normally hand-held and makes a strip of cloth five to six inches wide. For a normal sized (55" x 7'5")piece they will weave nine panels and then sew them together. From then on the women have traditionally painted and designed the cloth.
