Author Description

Excerpt from How to Cut, Fit, and Finish a Dress First teach your little daughter to make the waist, then the pretty puff sleeves; and, after they are set in the armholes, teach her how to make the skirt and sew it on to the waist band. Please do not put forward the plea, My little girl is too young. Not so they are never too young to learn to work for themselves or younger sisters; and the little girls of the present day are not less clever than those of a hundred years ago; but to hear the story our grandmother tells of the beautiful things which her mother and herself could make in their younger days, must make some of our wee misses feel very small the grandmother should say whether her mother and herself were taught to make all the wonder ful things of the story.
