Book excerpt: *History of needlework tools and associated embroideries from the seventeenth century to the Edwardian era*Answers the questions that collectors really ask*Of interest to collectors, dealers, auction houses, as well as embroidery and needlework enthusiastsThis is a comprehensive study of needlework tools from the seventeenth century to the Edwardian era. The format of the book groups these tools into periods and relates them to the style of embroidery fashionable at that time. The book starts with the heavy silver needlework tools of the seventeenth century which are related to the raised and padded embroidery of that era now known as stumpwork. The more delicate embroidery tools of the Georgian era are grouped together with fine embroideries. Illustrations of Georgian sewing boxes and sewing sets show the wonderful varieties available to collectors. Palais Royal sewing boxes and their superb mother-of-pearl contents, considered by collectors to be the ultimate sewing box, are illustrated as are the glorious carved ivory needlework tools that originated from the Dieppe region of France. The Victorian lady chose her sewing box, work table or sewing set from the tremendous range available of which illustrated examples include tortoiseshell, papier mbchi, Tunbridge ware and Mauchline ware. This was also the era of the sewing circle and handmade needlework tools were created in abundant numbers, many surviving for today's collectors' market.

Download or read book The History of Needlework Tools and Accessories written by Sylvia Groves and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a most unusual book, dealing with a subject that has never previously been so thoroughly examined. It concerns the tools and accessories that have been used in needlework throughout the centuries, and their relation to the history and development of needlework itself. A glance at some of the chapter headings gives an indication of the scope of the book: Needles and Needle-cases; Scissors and Knives; Work-boxes and Work-tables; Embroiderers' Tools and Cord-making Appliances; Knitting; Netting; Knotting; Purse-making and Pillow-lace. Not only is the evolution of the more everyday implements traced in detail; the reader is introduced into a world of Hemming-birds, Niddy-noddies, Yarningles, Lucettes and Drizzling-pins - the terms used are as delightful as the objects themselves. There are more than 200 illustrations. Some are from museums and art-galleries in this country, the United States and the Continent; others are from the author's own unique collection of tools. There are metal sewing-boxes worn by Anglo-Saxon women; needles and pins of medieval times; costly knotting shuttles used in the days of Marie Antoinette; and all the varied paraphernalia of the Victorian era. The author quotes extensively and most appropriately from many literary sources including Chaucer, Defoe, Jane Austen, Hans Andersen, the diaries of Parson Woodforde, etc., giving some indication of the enormous amount of research she has undertaken. She is herself a needlewoman, familiar with all the processes she mentions. To anyone interested in needlework, and to the social historian, this will be a valuable book of reference. It also presents many challenges to the collector, who will surely be inspired to search for the numerous delightful and once useful things described - the delicate tubular needle-cases of the Georgian and Victorian periods; the sewing-clamps or grippers that were so popular in the United States in the early 19th century; the bobbins used for pillow-lace with their intriguing inscriptions; and the small stilettos needed for Broderie Anglaise or for that curious and long-forgotten pursuit of Parfilage." --
Download or read book The Geometry of Hand Sewing written by Natalie Chanin and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sewing guide reveals a breakthrough method to simplify learning stitches of all kinds, with more than 100 stitches from the simple to the fanciful. As makers, we tend to learn different stitches over time without thinking much about how they relate to one another. But when Natalie Chanin and her teams at Alabama Chanin and The School of Making began to look at needlework closely, they realized all stitches are based on geometric grid systems. They also discovered that learning new stitches—even elaborate ones—became simple and easy when using grids as guides. In The Geometry of Hand-Sewing Chanin presents their breakthrough method, featuring illustrated instructions (for both right- and left-handed stitchers) for more than 100 stitches—from the basic straight and chain to complex feather and herringbone. Photos of both right and wrong sides are included, as well as guidelines for modifying stitches to increase one’s repertoire further. The book also offers downloads for two stitching cards with the grids on which every stitch in the book is based. These printable cards can be used as stencils for transferring grids to fabric.
