Vintage Sewing Find
During my brief holiday stay in Dallas, I spent an enjoyable afternoon exploring the depths of Half Price Books with my family. I picked up an exceedingly dated, but nonetheless fantastic, sewing book from Better Homes and Gardens, circa 1961. I love the retro line art illustrations, not to mention the very thorough coverage of sewing basics.
Plus, as an added bonus, I found someone's doll clothes patterns tucked between the pages!
What a great find! I love those vintage sewing books. Isn't Half Price Books fantastic?
I love books like these... I scour op shops and thrift shops for them and have a whole collection. They are so much fun to read, and some of the techniques are better than the quick and dirty methods taught today!
