A manual of plain needlework and cutting-out
A manual of plain needlework and cutting-out by Emily G. Jones, published in London by Longmans, Green in 1886, a practical instruction book for teaching sewing and needlework techniques. The pictures are line drawings of knitted and woven fabric structures with needles, pins and thread shown in close detail, which a designer could use as reference for textile patterns, stitch textures and knit-like surface repeats.
