Encyclopedia of Children's Sewing Collectibles, Identification & Values, Sewing Sets, Dolls, Books, Patterns
That wonderful world of children learning the art of sewing is well captured in the Encyclopedia of Children's Sewing Collectibles recently released by Collector Books. Written by doll and textile conservator Darlene Gengelbach, the book offers information and hundreds of color photographs on sewing sets, plus sewing-related dolls, books, and patterns. "For centuries little girls were taught to sew as soon as they were capable of holding a needle," notes the author.
