Them" by experienced needlework artist, and Instructor of Millinery, Evelyn S. Tobey
during the early Art Deco thread crafts era!
This book was originally published in New
York City in 1914 and sold for 50 cents! (Original is NOT for
sale)
This HISTORIC CD Republication contains instructions,
diagrams, designs and instructional fundamentals for creating a variety of
ribbon art items used in millinery and clothing embelishments. There are many
ANTIQUE ARTS & CRAFTS ERA designs and instructions included! There
are many unique, antique patterns, instructions and diagrams for
ultra-feminine, lacy, ribboned adornments!
An
excerpt:
"This book gives exact
instructions to dressmakers, milliners and home needle-workers for the making of
flowers and leaves, together with 47 illustrations and suggestions for their
use."
"The easiest way to work out
the instructions in this book is to collect on your work-table bits of silk,
ribbon or even cambric to experiment with, then with a tape-measure, scissors,
needle and thread follow each stem of a process in the order given...These
flowers will be very simple indeed if you will follow this suggestion."
The antique and
vintage ribbon, thread, fabrics, etc., can be found on eBay quite readily.
You just have to hunt a little bit! :) Or, of course, you can utilize
contemporary tools and materials found at a near by fabric, craft or hobby
store…
