For a complete picture of what Women did during the Civil War you cannot go wrong with this book, paired with "Civil War Ladies". Women couldn't just go to the mall and buy things, they had to make them. Here you find an extensive workbook covering all the forms of needlework of the day as well as some additional works on household management. Practical instructions are enhanced by nearly 300 illustrations. Even if you never make anything that you find here, this historical information on the clothing, household items and accessories in use is invaluable.

I love this book. The projects are well-illustrated and instructions are well-written. I had no problem making several projects from the book.

This review is from: The Ladies' Hand Book of Fancy and Ornamental Work: Civil War Era (Paperback)
I was very disappointed in this book. I wanted to make the purse on the cover. After getting the book, I had no better idea of how to do it than I did before getting the book. I'm glad I didn't spend the money for the original book. Other items in the book didn't have very good instruction either.
