Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Dressmaker: With Complete and Fully Illustrated Instructions on Every Point Connected With Sewing, Dressmaking and Tailoring, From the Actual Stitches to the Cutting, Making, Altering, Mending, and Cleaning of Clothes for Ladies, Misses, Girls, Children, Infants, Men The sewing-room. Every woman who sews or who has sewing done at home should have a light, well-equipped sewing-room. It need not be large, but it should have a good light by day and the artificial light should be properly placed and shaded. The floor should be covered by a clean sheet or linen drugget - sometimes called a crum cloth. This covering keeps light-colored material from becoming soiled. And also enables you to leave the sewing-room in perfect order at the end of the day, for all the scraps and threads can be picked up in the cloth. The room should be furnished with comfortable, straight chairs and a table large enough to lay out a skirt or coat for cutting and sewing. If it is a regular sewing-table, you can keep your shears, pins, etc., in the drawer. (ill. I.) The table should have a smooth, hard, even surface and should be of comfortable height, so you can sit at it with your feet under it as you would sit at a writing table. Never sew with your work on your lap. It makes you sit in a fatiguing posit-ion, strains your eyes and back, and stretches and crumples your work. Lay your sewing on the table, letting the table support its weight. A big chest of drawers is use ful, one drawer for buttons, boxes, hooks and eyes, etc., another for patterns and a third for left-over pieces of materials. Keep all pieces of material as long as the garment is in use, in case vou wish to mend or alter it. There should be hooks on the wall, coat and skirt hangers, and a silkoline curtain to draw over dresses, etc., that are left hanging overnight.
