In the forefront of this black and white photograph, a young woman, named Margaurite, has her back to the camera as she sits at a treadle sewing machine on a sewing cabinet. A group of teenaged girls are seated in front of her, watching her demonstrate how to thread the machine. One of the girls is leaning back and teetering on the back legs of her wooden chair. Her left elbow rests on the back of the chair next to her.
