YIP 19 - Jan 19th - fantasising

The Pictorial Guide to Modern Home Needlework has been one of my favourite books to dream over since I was about 8. Clearly I haven’t changed much.

When was it published?

1939 I think, there's a knitting one in the series too.

Awesome! I thought so. I keep seeing 1930's clothes and recognizing that they'd look good on my body type and that dress looked about right for the time period :)

It's kind of interesting, because this looks a lot earlier than most of the stuff in the book which is more 40s and utilitarian, but I suppose that's normal for evening wear. I love how simple they make this seam, that's basically all of the instructions!
