Something to Do,—Girls!

Foreword

Have you ever seen a little girl sitting by her mother's sewing table and learning to take the first stitches ? How happy she looked because she was taking part in work to be done ! She was sharing with her mother. To such a child, mother’s work-basket with its neat little rolls of tape, its dainty cases for needles and its many colored spools of silk is just as interesting as a bit of fairyland,—be¬ cause from its depths beautiful things are made, or plain things be¬ come beautiful.

Every child wonders at her mother’s skill and the ease with which she works. She has learned her skill by doing things right in the beginning and so whether you sew, paste, cut or weave, take each step with care.

In the pages of this book there are many things to learn and many articles that you can make. Your finger fairies will do your bidding and they will help you to make beautiful gifts for those you love.
