Periodical · 8 pages · weaving drafts
An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions with Lillian Hunter's directions for weaving five café (tier) curtain designs, with matching valances. It explains a method of attaching curtain rings to the selvage during weaving, using a weft loop. Each design gives a threading and tie-up draft, materials (mercerized cotton, pearl cotton, linen, novelty yarn), warping plan, sleying, weaving sequence, and finishing and hemming notes. Photographs show the finished curtains and fabric swatches.

A Lily Mills leaflet by M. Lillian Hunter presenting ten handwoven drapery and upholstery fabric designs built on traditional threadings rather than plain twills. Designs 1-5 use honeysuckle overshot, 6-8 use M's and O's, and 9-10 use summer and winter, with yarn lists, sleying, threadings and treadling or weaving directions. Photos of fabric samples accompany the drafts, and the text includes advice on planning fabrics for a room and hanging draperies.
