Weldon's 2D #103 c.1893 - Practical Plain Needlework and Tailoring Techniques (Second Book)

15 Pages. Back in the day when all of the best tailors and seamstresses still worked by hand, these techniques were passed from mother to daughter and master to apprentice. The sewing machine was a new creation and generally only worked in a straight line. This book is a fine tool to learn the techniques of whipping, patching, marking, binding, pleating and sewing on hooks, eyes, buttons and tapes. There is detail instruction in these techniques as well as forty-four beautiful illustrations. This is the Second book in a three book series, the other two are Weldon's #98 and 106. REPRODUCTION
