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.

A great history piece that still has interesting tips, tricks and patterns.

i fell in love with the entire "atmosphere" of this book...

working the patterns is merely icing on the cup-cake.
