Re: Vintage Sewing Books Make Great Modern Teachers
I'm just recovering from a major panic moment when I thought I had lost my favourite vintage-ish sewing book. Found it! Thank goodness.
posted: 1:20 pm on April 21stIt's a Sunset Book publication called Slipcovers & Bedspreads.
I bought it 2nd-hand in about 1980 for $1 when I was living in the US. It's original price was $3.95. Don't know when it was published as the first page is missing.
I started making fitted slipcovers with this book - 100 pages of step-by-step instruction - and in nearly 30 years of making I haven't found anything to better it. Best $1 I ever spent. It has earned several thousand times its cost.
