Who can resist the offer of a free book? Not just any free book but a pattern drafting book based on Italian Fashion Desgin. Here is the link to the website Pattern Making Book. The book is described as a tutorial of fashion design for man, women, children's, with detailed descriptions, examples and drawings. In Italian and English languages.
If that doesn't tickle your fancy, how about a vintage embroidery book or perhaps a 1914 Edition of a Teachers Sewing Manual
Books can be downloaded in various formats, PDF, Kindle etc.
Enjoy!
