INTRODUCTION
It is the object of this book to set forth the quickest and best method for every operation, in sewing.
It is a handy book of reference, where the making of any part of a garment can be easily looked up.
The making of a whole garment may seem a difficult proposition but, when thought of in individual parts, it resolves itself into simple operations.
It is merely a series of joining seams, turning edges for hems, and sewing pieces together for pockets and other trimmings.
Any woman who can run a sewing machine can join the pieces, if she knows how to place the goods and where to stitch.
The things which have often seemed intricate in the methods of the experienced tailor and dressmaker are shown as they really are simple means of procedure in sewing followed
out step by step.
Every question in the making of a garment is anticipated and answered, from the cutting out of the pieces to the sewing on of the last hook and eye.
In some cases there are other ways of accomplishing the same or a similar result, but by actual and repeated tests the methods advocated in this book have proven the most satisfactory.
It is based on years of experience in manufacturing patterns and making garments.
