This site - VintageSewing.info - contains sewing instructions from the
early 1900s to the 1950s. You can click on the links and read detailed
instructions for various sewing projects. I found it interesting that
the older books relied mainly on verbal instructions with a dearth of
diagrams or pictures. Sewing was a good deal more difficult then and
seemed to require a lot of skill, without doubt. I'm not sure I would
have wanted to attempt a six gored tailored skirt based on those
instructions alone.

But back then most people learned to sew from their moms and grandmoms.
I don't know about you, but my one gramma made basically everything
she ever wore until she started having strokes, and her daughter my aunt
did as well (and I was born in the 50s).
