Sewing Card Set hand stitched 1927 Schoolgirl Art
A Sewing Card Set created by 4th Grader Miss Lillian Ethel Wandel in 1927. The set was commercial (although the box indicates only an inventory number) and consisted of a dozen or so pre-punched cards to be hand sewn by the student. Although she hand-stitched the collection appropriately I believe the idea of stringing them together into what is essentially A giant flip book…or as seen here a wall hanger was her own. I have had several pieces from the same unidentified manufacturer over the years. I have duplicates of some, but this is the only set I have seen in this format.
