Some
images on this page and throughout this website are from my favorite
archival and historical sewing books, and they are also in the public
domain for viewing anytime and looking into the past via a needle
and thread. They also show that the basics still apply in modern
sewing.

and Tapestry Weaving by Grace Christie, 1912.

Embroidery by Ada Wentworth Fitzwilliam and A. F. Morris Hands,

Crewel
and Embroidery Works
Embroidery
is a beautiful sewing art, and working in plain fabrics can give
you a wonderful slate to complete your most independent works.
Since it is not counted like needlepoint, you can let your imagination
do the work and 'free form' your drawings, or use any of the many
outlined ready-made clothing pieces or iron-on works that are
available.
