DO YOU KNOW? That in 1850,
American ladies made dresses from directions in a book, just
as you would follow a recipe for baking a cake? Here are
directions for making a skirt, quoted from the American
Ladies' Memorial, "A useful book to every Lady throughout
the United States": To make a skirt, "you should pin or tack
together the breadths of the skirt at the top, before you
begin, so that you may not chance to put in more gores on one
side than the other, or find that the hind breadth comes to
one side". Six more
long paragraphs finish the directions. What an undertaking it
was to make a skirt about a century ago! Certainly ladies of
those days had to have more time and patience than nowadays,
with our easy-to-follow paper patterns. |

| This is an
article from
McCall Needlework magazine, Winter,
1944-45,
with a wonderful idea for easy to make sectional bedspread. I
love this for summer use as the blankets and comforters end up
stored away. With sheets and lighter fabrics, these bedspreads
are perfect for the hot days.
Do you remember Shadow Art in
school; remember taking it a step further and putting on
shadow plays? Here is a great article for children or adults
on the simple method of making shadow art, taken from
Everywoman's Magazine, October, 1957. |
