Vintage Sewing Books

I do love cookbooks, but even more I love books about sewing.  My favorites are the ones that are older than I am  (go ahead and guess at that number).  So am I crazy?  My husband thought so when I stacked these up the other day to photograph them. 

Him:  "What are you doing?"
Me:  "Taking pictures of my books."
Him: "Why?"
Me:  "For my blog, of course."
Him:  "????" 

He does not read my blog.  Probably a good thing.  But I know someone out there will enjoy seeing these, right?  So here they are.  If you want to know more about any of them, just ask and I'll spill.  Actually...

...I might have to highlight a few of them in future posts even if you don't ask.  Really, how can I resist sharing these with you?
