While sewing is my fellow blogger, Elizabeth’s, area of expertise, I ran across this collection of books entitled “The Art of Sewing”. First published in the 1970′s and offered by Time-Life Books it includes several titles such as “The Art of Sewing:Delicate Wear”, “The Art of Sewing Creative Design” etc. As a designer I am attracted to the beautiful illustrations and the colorful bindings and it is fun to see how things have changed in the last thirty five years.
The Art of Sewing by Time-Life books–Traditional Favorites issue
It is difficult to find but several of the titles are available on Amazon.com and the entire set was for sale on ebay at one time. However, there are individual books for sale on a regular basis on ebay. Check out other sites such as Etsy or used book stores and you may just get lucky. I think you will enjoy this collection and it is a fun gift for the seamstress or decorator in your life.
