An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions on designing handwoven blouse and skirt fabric. It gives advice on choosing commercial patterns, calculating yardage and shrinkage, and planning designs on the pattern tissue. Full work sheets cover four blouses (Danish Medallion, Half-Krabba, overshot and a laid-in band) with threading drafts, tie-ups, heddle counts, sett, yarn amounts and treadling. Directions also cover a formal skirt and stole, a banded skirt and a square dance skirt woven with Lily pearl cotton, floss, novelty bouclé and metallic yarns. The back page lists color numbers for Lily Art. 114 and Art. 105 yarns.
