HOME DRESSMAKING BUREAU




The month of February is dedicated to home dressmaking. Inspired by The Pictorial Guide to Modern Home Dressmaking, a beautiful 1940s book, I present a bureau collection of old clothes making items.

Bureau contents: The Pictorial Guide to Modern Home Dressmaking by Catherine Franks, c. 1940,  Home Chat magazine, cotton bobbins, buttons, ribbons, scissors, tape measures, clothes making patterns, home made dresses, aprons, gloves and dress accessories, name tapes, bias binding and old photographs of ladies in pretty dresses.

Below throughout February I focus on some of the contents from the Home Dressmaking Bureau.
