1920s Fashion Craft and Decorating Books

1920’s Books on Beading, Fashion, Millinery, and Drapery

We have recently published a series of books which consist of compilations of 1920’s material on the above subjects. These are available for download over the Internet, but most require a fast Internet connection due to large file sizes caused by the number of illustrations they contain.

There are six beading books or compilations on this popular subject. The New Bead Book by Emma Barbour is probably the best book on 1920’s beadwork ever published. The color photos of beadworkÂ are absolutely stunning and an inspiration to beaders even today. All of the bead books we have republished were classics in their day.

The very popular One Hour Dress of 1924 is perfect for anyone looking to recreate a 1920’s style dress. It contains detailed instructions on making a dress in one hour plus an additional seventeen different variations.

The Millinery book has illustrations and descriptions of dozens of 1920’s hats for those wanting to make an authentic 1920’s hat.

If you are decorating a bungalow or other 1920’s home then we have republished the 1920’s classic “Decorative Draperies and Upholstery”. The qualityÂ illustrations and descriptions contained in the 255 pages make this the best resource of this type we have seen. The decor is inspiring and makes one want to go out and buy a 1920’s or 1930’s house just so you apply some of the ideas.

You can visit our 1920’s Book Shop online to find out more on these wonderful books.

As we have time we will be republishing other 1920’s books from our collection.
