This as a fascinating read for any sewing enthusiast or historian,
but also contains much information that is still useful and
practical today. It will prove of much interest to both the amateur
and professional dressmaker. Its 398 pages contain extensive
explanatory diagrams on a variety of themes, forming a complete
how-to guide. Twenty-four chapters deal with a diverse range of
topics, including, amongst others, Basting, Simple Stitches, and
Seam Finishes, Tailoring Tricks, Taking Care of your Clothes and
Clothes for the Expectant Mother. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing
these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions,
using the original text and artwork.
