CD Republication

By

Ane Loewen

Originally Published in 1925

Up for bid is a marvelous CD-ROM Republication of the original "Millinery" with NO RESERVE!" We scanned and reformatted a scare original and are pleased to offer you this wonderful antique millinery reference for your reenactment or recreation sewing pleasures!

This cd reproduction has scores and scores of line drawings and numerous photos of the most deliciously feminine chapeaux in its 223 pages! It includes general instructions for making the many hats displayed in the listing collage using a variety of needle working techniques. I hardly know where to begin!

(Original is NOT for sale)

This is certainly a huge source of historically valuable inspiration for the creative millinery and fabric artists out there who recreate the hats and headdresses from the early 1900's. This is the perfect opportunity to purchase your own version of another wonderful craft instructional revealing our heritage from early America and European cultures!

This item would be great for millinery students, recreationists, SCA and Red hat Society members!
