That is impressive! I wish I could see more of the pages. I can’t imagine something like that being made today…

I know my grandma made something similar in school in the 40s, except not with so many pretty samples because she never liked sewing. Just the basics, a skirt, a blouse. And if you get a formal education as a seamstress these days, you still have to make books full of samples. My sewing teacher had to make them.

Incredible! What a book. I’d love to turn those pages.
I made a sample book in school but I didn’t keep it. It was just hems, seam finishes, pockets, zips, placket etc. Boring stuff, no nighties or corsets.

Meh, the Reddit thread seldom has cool stuff like this!
I thought it was a needlework thread I hadn’t seen yet.
