Day by Decade

By Mrs. Pullan
1859

A guide that teaches one to create a wide variety of needlework, made to fill the gaps of books of the time that only cover patterns and techniques that were current..

“…a complete guide to Fancywork should not confine itself merely to that in vogue at the time. It should comprehend explanations of all the kinds that ever have been fashionable, since it is quite probable that they may again be so in the course of a very few years.” (pg. xi)
