Fancy Work Recreations (Classic Reprint): A Complete Guide to Knitting, Crochet, and Home Adornment: A Complete Guide to Knitting, Crochet, and Home Adornment (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Fancy Work Recreations
There is no occupation so feminine, at the same time so truly lady-like, as needlework in every branch, from the plain, useful sewing that keeps household and person neat and orderly, to the exquisite, dainty, fancy work that adds beauty to every room. Martha Washington received her lady friends, rising from her knitting and resuming the work of her fingers while conversing, and there are specimens of her skill still treasured. Fancy work is a secondary consideration, although this book will be for the guidance of those who, having conquered the mysteries of plain sewing, turn for recreation to the daintier and prettier arts of knitting and crochet.
