Just taken the first piece off the loom; just got to pursuade Gail to sew it up for me and we will have the menu holder to go with the already finished table runner. I used the 2 ply linen/cotton in weft as well as warp for this and, to be honest, it's got a bit too much drape now its washed and pressed. Will see what its like when the menu card is inside the "pocket" formed when its all sewn up, but think I will use the 8 lea's linen in the warp when I do the second one...these are all mock-ups after all.
Here is the photo of the menu holder as it will be sewn up (still got to have the ribbon threaded through the lace loops either side of the 2 plain weave stripes)
