A Lily Mills pattern leaflet by Mary E. Snyder with projects for woven belts, girdles and sashes on four shafts. It opens with a short history of belts and ideas for their use, then gives warp, weft, reed, width, length, drafts, tie-ups and treadling for each project. Projects include twill and rosepath belts, a novelty texture belt, a Canadian ceinture fléchée sash and an adaptation of the Girdle of Rameses. Finishing methods such as macramé knots, braids, fringes and rings or buckles are described.
