Louise Frances Cornell Little Sewing Book for a Little Girl

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Too often we hear grown-up girls and women say that they do not like to sew or that they don't know the first thing about sewing. What they really mean is that they do not like to sew because they don't know the first thing about it. We always like the things we know how to do and do well. The neglected art of the needle is coming again into its own and the time to inculcate its principles is in childhood, when the mind is plastic and the fingers flexible. Any little girl may develop into a finished needlewoman if she undertakes the study of sewing with a compe tent teacher who can combine practical instruo tion with the play Spirit, and make the lesson' as interesting as a game.
