Hand Sewing Lessons

A Complete Three year training course

“Hand Sewing Lessons” is a book for those who wish to learn sewing and how to teach it to others. It gives a practical course for normal and high school classes and supplies trained teachers with printed instructions for pupils in place of written ones that take so much time and that overlap the work of other departments.
The stitches are combined for practice while new ones are being learned, so as to form a continuous line of progress and carry out the principle of bridging the way from the known to the unknown, and of making a pleasant road to knowledge, which will become a part of daily life in after years.

87 pages, and with extensive illustrations, the value of these lessons has been proven by fifteen years of experience in the "Self-Help Circle," a school organized to instruct girls in the domestic arts. This 1901 volume is a true classic on hand sewing methods.
