needlecraft and fancywork artisans of the late 1800's clamored for this type of
item and with good reason! (Original is NOT for sale)
This 122 page item covers the gentle art of using linen,
cotton or other materials, needles and various threads (silk, linen and cotton)
to make the daintiest (but also amazingly sturdy) decorative drawnwork
needlework doilies, centerpieces,dresser scarves, tidies, and
clothes for the classiest of homes.

other materials on eBay! You just have to search a little bit! :) Or, you can

beautiful, dainty, colorful decorative soft home furnishings and fabric items
for you and yours, as gifts or to sell!
These instructions are characteristic of the
fancy work done by our oh-so-feminine lady ancestors during the Victorian era! This
is the perfect opportunity to purchase your own version of another wonderful arts
and craft book revealing our heritage from early America and
Europe!
An excerpt from this book:
"A BOOK of instruction, whether it be for the use of children or adults, amateurs or experts, should be complete. By this we mean that, as far as possible, it should begin at the alphabet, or the rudiments of the subject-matter, and progress step by step to the climax of mastery.
In
planning and preparing this pamphlet upon Drawn-Work, the point just mentioned
has been kept constantly in view. Beginning with a list of suitable fabrics,
knotting materials and implements, and telling how to draw the threads and make
the foundation stitch of all drawn-work, we have placed before the student every
step of the work from the rudiments to the development of the most elaborate
designs; and of the latter we have selected many noted for their beauty, some of
which are intricate in construction and effect, others easy to develop but
complicated in appearance, while many are extremely attractive to the eye from
their very simplicity of design and construction. The instructions and
suggestions found in the book make the development of all of the design easy of
accomplishment, and render the evolution of individual designs an occupation of
fascinating interest.
