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.
