Patterns are exact replicas of the premier needlework magazine from turn-of-the-century England. Each volume is filled with hundreds of vintage projects, illustrations, information on little-known techniques, fashion as it was in the late 1800s and brief histories of needlework.

Wonderful historical value!,
By Under the Big Sky (Bozeman, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weldon's Practical Needlework, Volume 1 (Weldon's Practical Needlework series) (Hardcover)
This is a great find! As an intrepreter for a living history homestead museum built in the 1880's,I found this book opens a window into the creative lives of women of that time period and will be very useful to expand my own skills which I can share with the guests who visit. I am currently using some of the patterns to create garments for my grandchildren who participate with me. It is extraordinary book.
