Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Dressmaking: A Complete Guide to Household Sewing In undertaking this work there has been a higher object than merely adding another to the long catalogue of books. My great ambition has been to help women who are trying to help themselves. As a young woman who wished to be as well dressed as my limited means allowed, I had to work out for myself the principles of planning, cutting and making my own gowns. Again, as a writer for newspapers and magazines, I had to study to formulate into words the knowledge I had gained by practical work. Many and many were the times I wished for some book to help in both my hand work and my writing. There was none in the market. To offer other women the help I vainly craved I present this book to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Home Dressmaking Made Easy Classic Reprint written by Emma M. Hooper and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Dressmaking Made Easy One might style this an explanation or excuse for the book being in existence, but there seemed to be a place for it and the author is trying to fill that niche after an experience of eighteen years with dry goods, dressmaking and the individual needs of women. From my large correspondence, I know that it is of general interest to an immense number of women who are obliged to do home dressmaking without any previous training. It has not been found advisable to illustrate current fashions, as they change too quickly to become standard, but the main principles of cutting, fitting and finishing, like the brook, go on forever, and these once learned make even the race with Dame Fashion an easy one. Have patience, perseverance and care and you will accomplish wonders. Surely it is worth the trial if you only learn to gown yourself economically and becomingly. "Make haste slowly" in dressmaking. In these days there are many conveniences offered to the home dressmaker in the way of notions, materials, sewing implements, etc., but very few are able to try them all and are thus unable to judge which is really best of the many for sale; for this reason I have given the names of several articles through this book, knowing them to be first in their line and satisfactory in every respect, and though some may be unfamiliar to my readers, when once tried they will prove indispensable. A desire to be well dressed is inborn with every woman, and man as well, and why not follow this desire unless it cause one to neglect home duties or induces one to spend more than can be afforded upon ones wardrobe? When neatly and becomingly attired a woman is happier and more at ease in her manner when in the presence of others, and remember that it costs no more to dress becomingly than it does to don the wrong materials and colors. If you do not know what is becoming and suitable Home Dressmaking will tell you. Especial attention is given in this little work to the dressing of very stout, extremely short and unduly slender figures. All figures may be improved if we only know how to do it, and I trust in a practical manner to make this possible for my readers. Many terms used by dressmakers are of an unknown tongue to an amateur, so I have added a list of definitions that I hope will assist my readers and prove, like the rest of this work, "a friend in need."
