About this title

Synopsis

In the late 1800s, an English company called Weldon's offered monthly newsletters that featured needlework patterns and instructions for projects. Later, the company inaugurated a series of books titled Weldon's Practical Needlework, each volume consisting of twelve issues of newsletters bound with a cloth cover. Every book is filled with hundreds of vintage projects, illustrations, information on little-known techniques, fashion as it was at the turn of the 20th Century, and brief histories of needlework. Volume 10 offers exquisite applique embroidery; lots of crocheted edgings, insertions, and even baby rattles; hairpin-crochet edgings; a wide array of knitting-from a really cool knitted tassel to adorable booties for baby; an entire section on pincushions (who would have guessed you can make a pincushion out of a beechnut?), sections on beginning point lace and beginning ribbon plaiting; and last but not least, "practical leather work." This volume is a cornucopia of ideas!
