Educational Needlecraft is a comprehensive guide to the art of needlework, written by Margaret Swanson and originally published in 1911. This book covers a range of techniques, including embroidery, crochet, knitting, and lace-making, and provides detailed instructions and patterns for each. Swanson also includes tips on selecting materials and tools, as well as practical advice on how to care for finished projects. What sets Educational Needlecraft apart from other needlework guides is its focus on the educational benefits of the craft. Swanson argues that needlework can be a valuable tool for teaching children not only practical skills, but also patience, perseverance, and creativity. To this end, she includes a section on teaching needlework to children, with specific projects and lessons tailored to different age groups.Overall, Educational Needlecraft is a timeless resource for anyone interested in learning or teaching needlework, as well as for those who appreciate the beauty and history of this traditional craft.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
