Historic Communities Book - Home Crafts

In the past, people could not buy all the goods they needed. Instead, they used and reused materials to make things for themselves. Leftover strips of cloth were woven into rag rugs, and cooking fat was burned in candles. Children will be intrigued by pioneer ingenuity in Home Crafts, a step-by-step account explaining how the settlers:

• made candles and soap
• carded and spun wool
• dyed cloth and sewed samples
• made quilts and leather goods
