card wove a couple of belts, and used them to make a cover for my siddur:

all pics and project details are in my notes at that link/gallery. (i am still learning to use the weavolution site, sorry to not have everything here yet)
-------------------------------------------------
i used satin-bamboo (found at HalcyonYarn, for all the warps/weft, and also for the lucet woven flat-braid that i used to top/bottom edges of cover (braided 3 lengths of the flat-braid and tacked it in long snaking around front-n-back sides of the cover and then "sutured" it shut to cover the burlap/belt edges...
i took the large-diamond pattern from the turkish-belt pattern, pg. 78 of "Card Weaving" Candace Crockett (did make small changes, you can see my own pattern i used here: http://pics.livejournal.com/qilora/pic/001aexh3/
i have neuromuscular disease so my fine motor skills are NOT fine, so please forgive how sloppy all of my hand-stitching is ;)
that is all i can think to say for now. hope you like the pictures.
be well - M.Ch.
