Simplified Sewing booklet
Jeff and I hit our favorite antique mall, Heritage Square Antique Mall, yesterday, and I scored. I got a nearly complete set of booklets for a correspondence sewing course from the 1920s for $1.50 each.Not only are the booklets very helpful in explaining sewing, but they're a fascinating look at the time period. I've scanned in the "Simplified Sewing" booklet, which includes a bunch of patterns that can be made using only measurements, including aprons and kimono nightgown.
Access it here. It's a big file, so be patient.
Let me know if you make anything from the booklet, I'd love to see!

Thanks for posting this...it's awesome.
I love that it's from the "Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences". Heh.
