  I was wondering what the sashes I see in some pictures people are wearing are made of and if I could make one? Also on some guy's pants are leg bands tied off that look pretty nice and am wondering about those also. I just want to improve my outfit looks.

Thanks guys

    This will give you an introduction for a start, concerning "Inkle Loom".

     no one on TMotC ever bought a loom,  they made them themselves and  from there  loom the Sashes etc.   Several members have made and sold  Sashes etc.  I think Bulldog Lady makes them, or did.

Better answer would be to borrow my loom and make your own... I make them out of wool yarn I find in thrift shops and yard sales.

Thanks, my wife had given her daughter a loom set up and borrowed it back, just gotta get the yarn, and then learn how to do it and I'lll make my own, more fun this way. Thank you sir.

Bulldog lady does have some for sale that she made a while back... look in the for sale posts... and she does make custom designs for people (Like pathfinder) which can tell a story  [hmm]
