The Mary Frances sewing book
Jane Eayre Fryer and Jane Allen Boyer
Sewing Bird has a secret, and only a girl with a needle will learn it. Through the long and short of basting, the stitch grandma learned, and blanket stitch beyond, Mary Frances masters real sewing while Sewing Bird teases Dick Canary between lessons. Jane Eayre Fryer stitches play and instruction into one seam. Thread up and follow. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
