There is a book "Inkle Weaving" by Helene Bress, it has patterns for looms, straps, and  variations from traditional weaving using a pickup stick.  some really neat patterns, also directions on how you can make up your own.  hope this helps.

dont mean to ask a question in someone elses topic but can someone tell me how many times i should wrap the yarn on my loom to make a sash 3 inches wide. im useing the yarn from walmart

Hey Hammerhead no one can tell you that it depends on the weight of the wool and the brand of the wool I can tell you that 35 warps (those are the long wraps) &) on my loom gives me 1 1/4 inches using worsted weight wool from lion wool
