Narrow bands of woven tape were important to Americans in the
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, before the days of
elastic and zippers. This book documents the fascinating American
history of handwoven tape and offers patterns and instructions to
enable today's weavers to make it. Many Early American households
had a tape loom for making the tape needed by the family, and this
book offers a discussion of the people who wove tape, the patterns
woven, and the types of looms used, along with over 280 color
images. The book also gives step-by-step instructions for setting
up a tape loom with warp threads, and explains how to weave your
own tape. You can weave tape for similar practical uses as our
forebears, or to create one-of-a-kind gifts and decorations like
key chains, holiday garlands, or lanyards.
