Description
This 1999 vintage sewing manual provides clear instructions for altering patterns, hand-sewing stitches, and creating a range of garments, including shirts, blouses, skirts, wedding and evening gowns, coats, maternity wear, undergarments, and children's clothing.
It also covers lost arts such as boning a bodice, creating bust enhancers, and other techniques that were once essential skills for turn-of-the-century seamstresses.
With 128 pages of detailed instructions and illustrations, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in traditional sewing techniques and the history of dressmaking.
