Sewing, knitting and needlepoint has been for centuries a necessary skill (for women in particular).In years past, and I suppose in many areas of the world even today, most children grow up in homemade clothes and blankets. In many cases the quality and artistry of these homemade textiles are amazing. American girls would create “samples” to demonstrate their skill and artistry. Many of these have survived the test of time and we can still see them today.
