Author Description

Excerpt from Margaret J. Blair's System of Sewing and Garment Drafting: Adopted by Public and Industrial Schools To meet the demand for practical methods and to supply the want that has been but inadequately met by the use of patterns, the author has prepared this man ual. She has arranged it so systematically that it will be of great assistance to the teacher of sewing, and in! Valuable as a book of reference for the pupil. The chapters devoted to the manufacture and weaves of materials are intended to aid the teacher in giving talks to her pupils on kindred subjects, also to render the pupil so familiar with the different kinds of cloth that she may become an intelligent judge of them. Since in any work a thorough understanding of the principles makes it easy, so in sewing, the first step is the inculcating of those principles which are the foun dation of needlework, and each part of the work should be so thoroughly taught that the next becomes easy.
