For my followers interested in historical costuming. This is so much better than what I “engineered” before I knew what I was doing. LOL

What an absolute treasure!! Thank you for sharing, Barbara Bowersmith

This rare Irish needlework instruction book from 1833 contains samples of sewing, darning, embroidery, knitting and miniature clothing, and was used at the Female Model school in Kildare Place, Dublin.
It is called 'A Concise Account of the Mode of Instructing in Needle-Work', and was printed by Thomas I. White of Dublin in 1833. The cover is inscribed 'Sarah Darby 1837'. These are normal needlework instruction manuals that the students would paste their work into.
In May last year this book was auctioned by Freeman's Hindman of Philadelphia, PA, with an estimate of $3,000-$5,000!

She did a beautiful job.
And people are stoopid.
That is all.
