Schoolgirl Handmade Sewing Instruction Book Antique Vintage Old
I haven't quite figured out the date on this remarkable handmade sewing instruction book, but she received a 95. What was the teacher looking for? The cover alone is a 100. You women out there could date the work inside by the fashions...there are tons of designs, color wheels, mini-pattern projects and all done with beautiful folky precision. I'll post more one day. Yes, the cover is 3-D! The little pattern book on the table has pages! A great reminder of what a school student was required to do before computers.
