Sewing Magic for Teen-Agers

  • New Haven, Connecticut: The Greist Manufacturing Company, 1954
By Mildred Graves Ryan
New Haven, Connecticut: The Greist Manufacturing Company, 1954. Very good. Minor toning, dust soiling, wear to extremities.. A charming 1954 guide to sewing for teenage girls, urging them to create the garments of their dreams: "Do you like to daydream? To dream about all of those beautiful things you wish you could have--the lovely evening gown of pouf-shirred taffeta, the gay, swishy petticoat with its layers of ruffles dancing about your knees, the cozy quilted robe with its touch of sophistication ... Why don't you stop dreaming and make those dreams a reality?" (p. [2]). Includes helpful hints for working with a sewing machine, with illustrations.

8vo (8.5" by 6.25"), pp. [2], 37, [1], with in-text illustrations. Stapled in original illustrated green textured wrappers.
