A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

During many years experience in the dressmaking trade, and in teaching the more advanced technical work of designing, cutting and fitting clothes, I have realized the need of a more thorough training for the workers in the first principles of needlework. This resulted in an observation, extending over the past six years, of the teaching of sewing in the public schools of our larger cities. From a careful study of what is given in theD omestic Arts courses of the most efficient of these schools, I have formulated a definite, practical outline of the work that should give a foundation for an advanced technical training, fitting for the trades, or enable the pupil to do all necessary household sewing. Correlated subjects have been purposely omitted, the course concisely given and fully illustrated. The drawings have been made from such articles as are actually produced in the sewing classes of the graded schools, and represent first the object completed, then details of each step not previously given in its construction. These illustrations in the hands of the pupils give them a clear conception of the article to be made, and the method of making, and should prove a valuable aid to those teachers who have not had the advantage of a technical training in Domestic A rts. The increasing interest in the vastly important subject of Industrial Education leads me to hope that the work I have done may be of some assistance to those who are striving to place the teaching of sewing upon a systematic, practical basis. I have selected McC all Patterns for use in this course as being, in my judgment, the most reliable and easy to understand and use. Emma E. Goodwin.
