The Grace Wangberg Papers document mid-20th-century sewing instruction through an extensive collection of sewing samples and related materials, primarily from the 1940s. The collection consists of two boxes of hand-stitched fabric samples demonstrating various sewing techniques such as arrowheads, bias, buttonholes, collars, seams, plackets, and smocking. These samples appear to have been used for educational or instructional purposes, reflecting domestic sewing practices of the period. The collection also includes a small notebook of handwritten recipes by Grace Wangberg and correspondence, offering additional insight into her personal and domestic life.
