Home and school sewing
A sewing textbook by Frances Patton, published by Newson & Company in New York in 1901 for schoolgirls and home learners. Pen-and-ink diagrams show single stitch types worked across plain cloth—basting dashes, cross-stitch rows, hemmed edges, hanging thread ends, measurements marked in inches—with hatched shading for fabric texture, useful as spare line motifs, borders, and repeating stitch patterns.
