A 1930s article from Handicrafter on using handwoven fabrics for home furnishings such as curtains, upholstery and pillow covers. Crocker describes samples woven mainly on raw silk warp, including an eight-heddle overshot draft, modified summer and winter pieces taken from Mary M. Atwater's Shuttle-Craft Guild Recipe Book, and inexpensive mercerized cotton and monk's cloth curtains in twill. Threading diagrams, tie-ups, treadling sequences, yarn choices and photographs of the finished samples are included.
