Description

In the late 1890s, many public schools in the United States taught sewing as a staple course for young girls. The students would be taught basic sewing and darning techniques as it was expected of them to know how to mend stockings and attach buttons once they were married and running their own households. This volume was created in 1901 by a Philadelphia public school teacher who frequently taught sewing to her pupils. Containing a list of basic sewing methods and how it is best to teach them to a young audience, the book was used by teachers across the state of Pennsylvania.
