A short 1939 article describing woven handbags from Athens, Greece, made on simple primitive looms with a fine cotton warp and stiff weft yarn, probably goat's wool. It explains the tabby-based, discontinuous-weft technique (like cardboard weaving), crocheted handles and cotton linings. The author suggests duplicating the bags with Bernat's Peasant wool, with colors for five illustrated bags, and notes they can be woven on treadle or portable heddle looms.

First-person account by Roma Crow Walters of weaving small handbags and purses in the Rosengang (Rose Path) threading using wool yarns on a cotton warp. She gives the warp setup (cotton similar to Egypt 16-3, 10 ends per inch, 22 inches wide), the yarns used (Bernat Spanish Stocking, Shetland, Glow Crinkle), and a complete color sequence in throws for the pictured bag, woven on opposites. A short note describes a zippered purse woven on the same threading. The scan also includes a book review of The Game of Weaving, a children's weaving instruction book.

First-person account by Roma Crow Walters of a summer 1938 weaving project at the International Institute (YWCA) in Youngstown, Ohio, where Slovak immigrant women wove traditional Czechoslovak patterns. She describes setting up a two-harness, two-treadle loom with long string heddles to the weaver's specifications, the white cotton ground with red and blue pattern thread, and the four-thread unit of the overshot-type patterns. The article explains the pattern-stick and pattern-board method used to pick up the patterns, and illustrates a luncheon set, sampler, shirt front and table cover.
