Longmans' complete course of needlework, knitting and cutting out
A needlework instruction manual compiled by Miss T. M. James and published by Longmans, Green and Co. in London and New York in 1901, aimed at learners of sewing, knitting and garment cutting. Its pictures are plain line diagrams on squared grids showing stitch construction, cross-stitch and filling patterns, and a dressmaking layout with measurements, which a designer could use as sources for geometric grid motifs and simple stitch textures.
