Margaret J. Blair's system of sewing and garment drafting
A sewing and garment-drafting manual by Margaret J. Blair, published in St. Paul, Minnesota, by Webb Publishing in 1904 for schoolteachers and students learning hand stitching and pattern cutting. Line drawings show stitch structures magnified thread by thread, needles pulling loops through hem edges, folded cloth in hatched shading, and numbered sleeve and bodice patterns plotted on grids.
