When the Washington Star reviewed, “The Complete Book of Sewing” (1955), by Constance Talbot it noted“No detail is too small to escape observation, and with the wealth of illustrations, diagrams and charts it would seem the veriest novice could manage to turn out sewing jobs that would do credit to a professional seamstress or decorator.”
Described as a ”five in one” book:
- Dressmaking
- Tailoring
- Altering
- Remodeling and remaking
- Embroidery and home decoration,
This book contains over 900 diagrams and illustrations, including simple patterns you can make.
Hardback, more than 300 pages, 6 1/2 by 9 1/2.
It’s a quick reference of short, sweet and to the point information.
