Heirloom Sewing by Margaret Pierce (Previously Loved)
This book provides a step-by-step approach to heirloom sewing, the very fine handsewing of laces and elegant fabrics which was done at the turn of the century. Time honored basic techniques are explained with words and pictures, as well as ""special" information on such subjects as combining handsewing with smacking and "how-tos" for the more advanced seamstress.
