I could hardly bring myself to share my excitement at finding this wonderful little retro tome in a sewing shop, complete with original notes no less, and the crowning glory, a selection of miniature samples! Such a treasure, enshrining the agony of yesteryear domestic science lessons.
Patch, embellish and personalise
But fear not, these pass times have been covered by the illustrator Jennie Maizels with her magnificent clothes plasters and the best thing is you dont even need to thread a needle!
No needle to thread!
And look at all the delicious designs, so many uses, for mending, embellishing and personalisation.
So many to choose from
