Nuttige Handwerken Naaien 14

Final proofs for a teacher teaching useful textile crafts in the Netherlands. Period unknown, probably somewhere between 1950 and 1970.

Examples show basic techniques such as sewing, mending, patching, knitting, darning and some embellishing techniques. Some of these techniques were taught up till the 1970's to girls in elementary school to give them the skill to provide their later family with good clothing.
