Love the idea of coasters but want something bigger? Then how about these gorgeous woven placemats. I love the color palette chosen here — but of course you could choose your own colors too! All you need is to make two weavings on a loom and sew the sides together to make a bag. Attach some tassels to the bottom and add a long strap to be able to wear it. How dreamy! Think — something to hold your pens and pencils or something to hold your cell phone.
Remember the smaller the project the faster it will come together which is perfect for anyone just starting out with weaving! This woven pillow evokes a global worldly style that makes a home feel really unique. This pillow has a style that feels tribal and cool. Now these dish towels may look simple — but you would believe how detailed this pattern is!
Dish towels are a perfect craft to weave because they can be used everyday. After checking out all these other tutorials, do you think you are ready to start making your own woven projects without instructions? Remember — it all comes down to size, shape, and color.

Or some, like myself! The number one function that a smaller loom serves is to make samples. If you are one of those people who think that sampling is a waste of time and yarn, I get it — I used to be exactly the same.
But, throughout my weaving journey I have learned the true value of sampling before committing to a project. In short, it guarantees the success of your project! You can make garments, even with a small loom, with a bit of creative design. Strips of woven cloth can be seamed together in order to make larger pieces of fabric, which can then be cut and sewn into garments.
People often have the idea that only large, drapey garments like a ruana can be sewn with hand woven fabric, but that is not so. All kinds of clothing, including fitted pieces can be made, with a bit of planning ahead of time to ensure you are weaving an appropriate weight of fabric, with appropriate yarns for the garment you want to make.
In my Rigid Heddle Garment making class , we weave and then sew a loose fitting, open front cardigan. The class is not specifically for small looms, but it is easy to see how you can build a garment by building panels to seam together.
A woven fabric with vertical stripes incorporated into the design would be perfect for camouflaging seams. The Clasped Warp Quechquemitl class is another example of panels sewn together to construct a beautiful garment. Again, the class is not specific to small looms but the weaver could opt to weave 4 panels to join rather than the 2 demonstrated in the class. A small loom is perfect for a petite sized wall hanging, tapestry or framed piece. I discovered an added bonus to my Sampleit for weaving art recently.
When not in use, I store this loom by hanging it on the wall. Another thing I have not yet done, but desperately want to, is to frame some of my smaller woven pieces. I love the way krokbragd looks in a beautiful frame. Tapestry can also be woven on a little loom. You can see a few of my small tapestries in this post. I will freely admit that nowadays I weave tapestries almost exclusively on my Big Sister , but prior to the purchase of that loom I honed my tapestry weaving skills on my Sampleit.
I even made a class about weaving Tapestry on a Rigid Heddle Loom! They can be very planned or completely unplanned. My Freestyle Tapestry series and Van Gogh Inspired Tapestry series are both great starting points for some inspiration.
You can weave some awesome gifts on your little loom. A bookmark is a quick project and a fantastic way to use up leftover yarn. I wove a tapestry necklace on my tapestry loom, but the same could be done on a rigid heddle loom. A wrist cuff is a great small loom project and very straightforward to make.
