Singer Sewing Book Mary Brooks Picken 1949 Hardcover Sewing Reference Guide VTG

Up for sale is the 1949 Singer Sewing Book by Mary Brooks Picken, published by the Singer Sewing Machine Company. This hardcover reference covers sewing techniques, garment construction, alterations, fabrics, children's clothing, home decorating projects, decorative stitching, and much more. It has long been regarded as one of the most comprehensive vintage sewing references. This book is in good vintage pre-owned condition overall with wear consistent with age and use. There is separation at the inside front hinge. There is also liquid damage along the upper spine area that extends from the inside front cover through approximately page 17. The pages remain readable. The cover shows shelf and edge wear. There is also a name written on the inside front cover.  So this is a very used and worn book, but it still has plenty of use left in it. Thanks for looking!  #Singer #SingerSewingBook #MaryBrooksPicken #1949 #VintageBook #VintageSewing #SewingGuide #Dressmaking #Tailoring #CraftBook
