Behind every great seamstress is often a handful of really excellent sewing books. Men and women have long shared their hard-won knowledge of dressmaking and tailoring in beautiful, illustrated volumes like the one below.
If you collect or sew with vintage patterns, then you'll love seeing a few pretty pages of this 1940s book The Home Economics Omnibus by Harris and Huston.
Enjoy!
