Book Reviews of The Mary Frances Sewing Book: Adventures Among the Thimble People
Book Review: No patterns
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm glad I didn't buy this book new, as I would have been seriously annoyed to find that this fairly expensive paperback is neither remarkably attractive, nor very practical, since it does not include the crucial patterns. I wanted THOSE patterns to re-clothe a 1914 16" doll whose original clothes were sewn by my grandmother around 1915. In this edition of the Mary Frances Book, the pictures of individual stitches are quite small, and I'm not sure that anybody could learn these classic stitches from this book alone.
The book seems to be a re-issue for those who simply want to re-experience earlier readings of it - it does *not* fulfil the purpose that the original did.
Summary of The Mary Frances Sewing Book: Adventures Among the Thimble People
A charming instruction book in sewing techniques with patterns for clothes for a 16-inch doll, this book was originally for children. Adult doll collectors are now using this as a wonderful reference for sewing for dolls such as Schoenhuts, bisques, compositions, and others from the early years of this century. 100+ illustrations. 280 pages.Sewing Books
