12 Lessons in Making Your Own Clothes
The latest deserving resurrection from Gems Press. We’ve just finished republishing a 12-book out-of-print series from 1921, A Complete Course in Dressmaking in Twelve Lessons. All 12 lessons are now Kindle books, yay (selling for $5 each). Paperback versions will happen, but not yet. The book series was written by Isabel DeNyse Conover, a contemporary writer for ladies’ magazines, and it mixes fashion advice and ideas for nicening things up with detailed DIY how-to’s for the person who wants to take the world of clothing into their own hands.
