On the TSF Survivors reddit pages there was a thread about a lost old dressmaking book. All I recall is that there were lots of diagonal cotton reels on the cover.
Was it this book??

Just thought I would post the link just in case

Yes I did wonder if it was your copy...!
I was just trundling around ebay drooling over vintage sewing stuff - as you do - and there it was!

Well done Madame Cholet! My charity bookseller visits hadn't had any success yet so I'm delighted you found it.

Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.
