Description
Self-described as "a graded course for city and rural schools," copyrighted in 1916 and 1918, this book was written by the supervisor of "Girl's Handwork" in the Denver public school system. The first half is an outline with exercises for five years of instruction; the second half of the book is filled with supporting information, beginning with a detailed glossary of sewing terms and techniques, and concluding with a few pages on making woven baskets. Even though it is meant for teachers, it includes clear instructions (some with pictures) for even the most basic skills. Some of the exercises produce samples only (like a bit of cloth that is tucked and frilled as practice for sewing underclothes) but others result in something a child might find useful, like a doll's dress, a picture book, or an apron. The book does provide a window into the past for anyone interested in the construction of vintage or antique needlework, but it can also be useful as a reference and guide for even experienced sewers, now what were once basic hand-sewing skills are no longer quite so basic.
