But both Vogue and Butterick publish books on the more elaborate hand sewing and construction techniques, so I guess they wanted to sell books when they cut the instructions to the basics. The older patterns showed how to do all the stitches you would need, and even how to thread cover a hook for a hook and eye. Now it's just so bare bones. No wonder the haute couture type sewing blogs have become so popular again. Sewing Box Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121489228388348421noreply@blogger.com
