A little sewing book for a little girl

Cornell, Louise Frances · 1918 · Boston, The Page company · 38 pictures

A children's sewing primer written by Louise Frances Cornell and published by the Page Company in Boston in 1918, teaching basic hand stitches to girls learning to sew. Line diagrams show a needle and thread mid-stitch on hatched cloth, with close views of hems, seams and gingham-checked ground—useful as clean instructional marks, stitch motifs and hatching textures.
