The first book of Hows

Self-teaching needlework manual

Adapted to the latest requirements of the New Code. 1893

This  interesting little needlework booklet came into my possession, due to the tattered condition it was in, and the fact that it was meant as a self-teaching manual for children I presume it must be a rather rare copy.

I’m offering you a scan of the booklet for just a small contribution fee. I hope you will find it useful both as an historical educational document, but also as a way to maybe go back to the basics of traditional sewing.
