Oh, boy! Look what I found! It's a wonderful collection of books from 1953 called Sew with Distinction. If memory serves me correctly, my mom picked this up for me at a thrift shop when I was but a wee lass. I spent countless afternoons just flipping pages. Maybe I picked up some sewing skills by osmosis. It could happen.
I have moved these books with me to two different colleges, to Los Angeles, back home again, and they have been all over Portland, yet it has been at least a decade since I have cracked open a single one of the little volumes.
I have an idea that while working on the upcoming March dress I will work through the Complete Set of Eight Books and see if I don't learn a few things. Don't worry, I'll share. "A Picture Reference Sewing Course" is really too adorable to keep to myself.
