Meyer,
Carolyn Miss Patch’s Learn to Sew Book, 90 p. Houghton Mifflin, 2014,
1969. $10. Content: G.
Miss Patch
takes a beginning seamtress through a few simple projects to learn the basics
of hand-sewing, pattern-making and construction.
I learned
to tie a knot from Miss Patch back when I was a little girl. I took great pride in practicing her
technique until I perfected it. I am not
sure how well it translates for sewing now, especially since sewing machines
are so prevalent and cheap. It was a
nice trip down memory lane for me, however, as I made every project in this
book when I was first learning to sew.

I have a copy of this as well! I reread it the other day, and even though the instructions are very primitive, I think it holds up well for the very beginning sewer. And did you know that this was written by THE Carolyn Meyer, who does all the great historical novels? I was very surprised.
