Those women knew what to do with their time, Jane!

The history of women’s work and the needle arts has always fascinated me.

Thanks for these comments, Vi and Genece. And Joanne, I think like you, that women miss out on a handy toolkit of skills, toward a good self-sufficiency, if they deny themselves these worthy heritages.

This is indeed interesting. I don’t sew yet but I want to learn and have been reinspired by seeing my daughter doing sewing at school. She loves it!

Someone I know (not among the Foodies) is very proud of the fact that she cannot (i.e. will not) sew a button to a pair of pants. She seems to think it’s beneath her: I think she’s really missing out, especially when we go beyond the mundane world of fixing of garments (and even then, a badly sewn button could reveal a world of things!).
