Rediscovering Grandma's Sewing Books


When my grandmother moved out of her house in Gloucester, MA I inherited some wonderful vintage things - plates, lamps, wine goblets, and dressers. But I think the most wonderful of them all has to be the Time Life Series of Sewing Books from the 1970s. I have had these books for a while, but recently have rediscovered thier beauty and usefulness. My current favorite is Exotic Styling - it has some amazing patterns and even a pattern to hand embroider a beautiful peacock. Its such a nice feeling to rediscover old books! Vintage sewing books are often wonderful and inspiring resources, so keep your eyes peeled at thrift stores and yard sales!
