Title: Lost dressmaking book? - thread from TSF Survivors on reddit - is it this one??
Post by: Madame Cholet on March 11, 2017, 22:19:41 PM
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  8)

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.
