Contact seller5-star sellerBoston etc.: Ginn and Company, (1922). 151pp. Brown cloth. Well-illustrated and scarce. A practical school manual on hand sewing instruction for girls, written by Olive C. Hapgood and later "revised and largely rewritten" by Ella J. Spooner. The book aims to ease classroom instruction by reducing repetition and guiding students…step by step through early sewing methods. Intended not as a clothing course but as a foundation in sewing habits, it emphasizes method, accuracy, and simplicity. Prefatory notes by both authors highlight the growing importance of sewing in public school curricula and the challenges beginners face in learning handwork. VIRGO does not list this 1922 edition.
