Sumatra. Besides Pandai Sikek, there are some other villages such as Silungkang,
Koto Gadang, Kubang, Tanjung Sungayang and Batipuh. But the craft of weaving in
Pandai Sikek has existed and developed since 1850. Songket weaving skill in
Nagari Pandai Sikek still owned by the older generation to the younger
generation. These skills cannot be passed on to generations out of Nagari

namely by using handloom (Not Weaving Machine Tools). This paper would like to
