Vintage Sewing Surprise!

My hubs does a little yard work for an older couple. Well, Ms. Betty is going through her stuff and thinning it out. (don't get me started on the stash of vintage aprons that the hubs found out she gave away before she knew I sewed..sniff, sniff) She sent a couple of books my way....one of which is a treasure!! It has everything in it....seriously...ev-ry-thing!





This is the 1957 publication.

Tons of info...tons

Free Motion...in '57? Awesome!!

High end sewing

Decorative

Hand

Home Dec

Practical
See....everything!!!



Details from the Zipper and notions booklet. 
No date, but probably about the same time since it was stuck into the singer book.



How fun is this!!! I can't wait to compare it to some books that I already have. I am betting that other than dated pictures, it is still more than relevant!!


Do you have a favorite sewing reference book? Your go-to resource?

Share....you can never, ever have enough knowledge!!
