Download or read book A Girl s Problems in Home Economics written by Mabel B. Trilling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Girl's Problems in Home Economics: Healthful Clothing, Dress Design, Clothing Construction, Interior Decoration, Household Textiles, Care of the Home Home economics deals with the activities that are centered around the home life of the girl. Any effective study of home economics, therefore, must use the some materials and proc esses which she encounters in the actual situation. Insofar as possible the classroom should provide an imitation of the real situation in daily life which the girl will encounter. It is because of this need for experience in real activities that it has been suggested that the girls buy their own patterns and mate rials for their problems in clothing construction. This and similar procedure often seem not to be worth the trouble unless we understand their significance. If the school is to provide adequate textile training it must include the use of real textile materials. N 0 amount of read ing will furnish the same understanding and appreciation of textile materials. The study of Chapter 7, Fabrics That We Use Everyday, and Chapter 15, Furnishing Your Own Room: Curtains, Rugs, Bedding, will not be well done unless it is accompanied by a study of real materials. It is often pos sible to obtain many of these materials from the girls' homes and from manufacturers or merchants who are willing to furnish them free of charge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104iles: A Handbook for the Student and the Consumer The growing emphasis upon textile study in college depart ments of home economics or household arts, and the increasing use of the textile industry as teaching material in other depart ments and other grades of schools, shows a recognition of the part that the textiles are playing in the development of civiliza tion and in our everyday life. Interest in the subject is still further accentuated by the movements now on foot to regulate the social-economic conditions in the textile and clothing indus tries and to secure standardization and honest labeling of textile products, as is being done for food products by the pure food laws.

Download or read book Textiles and Clothing Classic Reprint written by Ellen Beers McGowan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textiles and Clothing This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highly developed and complicated machinery of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text. The authors emphasize the finished products and their relation to the household. Chapters have been introduced on the purchase, testing and economical use of textile ma terial, with the hope of pointing the way to a concrete and practical application of the study of textiles. The woman of to-day can no longer afford to be untrained in this respect, and because of present economic conditions a definite obliga tion is laid upon her to understand the nature and real worth of clothing material and house furnishings, in order to buy with judgment and economy. The girl in high school has the opportunity to acquire this knowledge, which will function in her later life. We are gradually breaking away from the formal teaching of sewing as an isolated subject.

Download or read book Swedish Textiles Classic Reprint written by Emelie Von Walterstorff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Swedish Textiles Textile art has been practised in Sweden as a home industry from the most primitive times. It seems to have become instinctive to the Swedish woman and inseparable from the appointments of the Swedish home. During the course of centuries, in which the art has been carried on, certain methods and many characteristic and beautiful designs became traditional. It is not surprising therefore that, although for several years past in Sweden this delightful home industry declined, it has lately experienced a revival as a domestic occupation. It has often been noted that identical geometric patterns are found in the designs of all times and countries. This is so because both raw materials and all methods of workmanship lend them selves naturally to certain geometric forms and combinations. Swedish peasant textiles have not been an exception to this rule, but with the traditional forms in general use other motives have been incorporated from time to time, some borrowed from oriental textiles and some from those of Europe prior to the 16th century. Later European art has but very slightly if at all influenced peasant textile designs except in the case of tapestries and certain embroideries. As a rule the old designs have beeni' preserved and made use of; they have been developed and remodelled with admirable faithfulness, skill, love and imagination. Being of good material and well made an article after serving for more than a generation may have been replaced by another exac'tly like it. Most of the textiles reproduced in this volume, when their age is not stated, date from the middle of the 18th century to the middle of the lgth; after that period a decline set in, in nearly every part of the country, and the factory goods made their entry into the homes.
