About This Item
[America, c.1910s-1920s]. [32]pp. Ruled commercial notebook with stiff paper covers and cloth spine. Approx. 8½ x 7 inches. 6 tipped in exercise sheets and 35 mounted textile swatches. Very Good.
Schoolgirl sewing and needlework notebook kept by high-schooler Mildred Hagy. An outline on the "Parts of The Singer [Sewing] Machine" is followed by six tipped-in sample sheets; pencil diagrams showing the techniques of hemming, facing, and both machine and hand binding.
The heart of the notebook are its 32 textile samples. The first of these highlight cloth types: nainsook, batiste, silk, crêpe de chine, and outing flannel. Thirteen swatches show examples of techniques used for hemming, attaching lace or ruffles, fagoting (embroidery), or for making plackets. Additional swatches show fabrics for underwear and kimonos, such as serpentine cloth and Japanese crêpe.
Mildred's progress was monitored by her teacher who comments in red ink: "All work is very well done."
