A 1936 article by Ruth Bolinger on planning, weaving, finishing and making up hand-woven fabrics for clothing. It covers yardage, warp waste, shrinkage allowances, flaxseed dressing for warps, washing and pressing woolens, and preventing raveling. It then describes several dress and coat fabrics woven from Bernat's fabri, Afghan, Lorneau and Glorine yarns, with sett, sleying, treadling and yardage given. Five four-shaft drafts appear on the last page, along with photographs of finished garments and fabrics.

First-person account by Ruth Bolinger of restoring a set of 1860s black walnut furniture and covering it with her own handwoven upholstery fabric. She explains her yarn choices (Weaving Special warp, Homespun weft), sett, and the yardage calculations for warp and weft, then gives an eight-harness Swedish upholstery pattern with threading, tie-up and treadling. She also describes reusing a plain-weave wine-colored suit fabric for a rocker, weaving a narrow card-woven gimp, and working with the upholsterer.
