Making Clothes for Your Little Girl

This book contains a vintage guide to designing and making clothes for young girls, with information on buying material, fitting, and making a range of items ranging from skirts to jumpers. With simple directions and helpful illustrations, this timeless volume is ideal for those with little previous experience, and would make for a worthy addition to family collections. Contents include: “What is Important”, “Planning Your Child's Wardrobe”, “Selecting the Fabric”, “How Much Material to Buy”, “Let's Make it Fit!”, “The Hard-to-Fit Child”, “The Basic Patterns”, “Long Gathered Sleeve”, “Skirts”, “Circle Skirt”, “Preparing your Patterns”, “How Long Will it Take?”, “Assembling the Garment”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on dressmaking and tailoring.
