Hippies didn't care if the mends showed, where Victorians/Edwardians did. So earlier mends were as invisible as the craft of the seamstress could produce. Dover republished a book called Victorian Sewing Techniques (actually Edwardian c.1904) which shows some of these techniques, as do other rarer sources. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
