Periodical · 8 pages · weaving drafts
An issue of Practical Weaving Suggestions (Lily Mills) in which Geraldine Woods presents a set of handwoven summer cotton garments for timid weavers: peasant-style skirts, a plaid dress, and dress yardage in small checks and all-over spot patterns. Each project has a draft sheet giving warp and weft yarns (Lily Art. 114 Pearl Cotton 20/2 and Art. 215 Super-Sheen 50/3), color numbers, sett, ends per dent, width, and treadling notes, with threading and draw-down grids. Projects use overshot (Monk's Belt border), 8-harness twill, Hound's Tooth twill, tabby and twill combinations, and a 10-harness spot variation.

Each sample is named after a song title, with tie-up numbers, weft and tabby colors, and notes on stripe spacing and treadling. The leaflet includes a cover showing the nine swatches and a handwritten draft sheet with threading, tie-ups and treadlings I through VIII.
