A short article by Gloria Rither on designing handwoven shaped garments, with lists of ideas for seams, surface treatments, and closings that must be planned into the warp. It offers design notes and numbered idea lists (fringe and selvedge seams, textured borders, pickup, double weave pockets, tabs, slits, weft ties, toggles and latches), with line drawings of closing types, and ends with a four-title bibliography on costume and wearable weaving.

A two-page column from the Minnesota Weaver's "Rigid Heddle" series by Gloria Rither on choosing and handling different yarns on rigid heddle (frame) looms. Yarns are grouped by character (stretchy, stubborn, nubby or loopy, hairy, fragile, thin, heavy or lumpy, wiry), with practical tips on warp tension, sleying, beating, and winding on. The pages include local advertisements and no weaving drafts.
