Description

Explore the hidden history of daily life through the lens of sewing and needlework. In Findings: The Material Culture of Needlework and Sewing, Mary C. Beaudry uses archaeological evidence to uncover what small tools reveal about the societies and cultures of the past.

The scope of this research is vast, covering sites across the United States, Great Britain, Australia, and Canada. Beaudry tracks the evolution of sewing practices from the Middle Ages through the Industrial Revolution.
