Présentation de l'éditeur
Of books on embroidery and fancy-work, and all kinds of home decoration, there is no lack, and very charming and suggestive these dainty volumes are; but the humbler occupations of plain sewing and useful needle-work are too much neglected. In aH ome Series, at least, these topics should have a place; and the making of garments at home, as well as the many other practical uses to which that essentially feminine implement the needle can be put, is a subject that interests all Women, except, perhaps, the favored few whose pathway lies among the velvets and roses of life, and whose only use of the marvelous little instrument is when it is threaded with embroidery-silk. For purposes of economy, and even of money-making, a deft use of the needle is a power not to be despised; and the encomium, She can make anything that is to be made, applied to a skillful needle-woman, is of itself a liberal endowment.
