    I love these old comic-ads! I just posted a '30s one on my blog..
    I also saw your earlier post with the image from the comic/sewing book by 'Sally Stitch'; I suppose you know about the Alexander Henry fabric, "home sewing is easy"?

    Yeah, Ive seen that fabric. Actually, I saw that before I knew there was an entire book. I never thought Id get an original book of it because of the popularity of that fabric.

    :D
