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.

  • Embroidery and Tapestry Weaving by Grace Christie, 1912.
  • Handbook of Embroidery by L. Higgin, 1880.
  • Jacobean Embroidery by Ada Wentworth Fitzwilliam and A. F. Morris Hands, 1912.
  • The Ladies' Work-Table Book by Anonymous, 1844.

Machine Sewing

Sewing wearable clothing at home means you can create an unlimited amount of wearable pieces with virtually endless fabric textures and combinations. If you have a sewing machine with even only a few decorative stitches, the borders and hems of any project can be made uniquely yours, and any plain store-bought items can be embellished with beautiful threads.
