Table of Contents

Much more than a routine task, sewing is an art form, a hobby, a business, a social function, and a passion for many people. The first known sewing tool dates back 20,000 years, and the evolution of tools since that time reveals a fascinating link to the past. Since the 1600s when decorative tools were made for royalty and the landed gentry, these pieces have been collectible. Author Helen Lester Thompson has dedicated a second book to these unique items.

Sewing Tools & Trinkets, Volume 2, once again features hundreds of collectibles, with no repeats from Volume 1, and many rare and unusual museum pieces. This lavish book presents the collector with a wide variety of tools and trinkets, from the ordinary to the elegant, ranging from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. The over 230 exquisite photographs feature thousands of items, including needles, thimbles, chatelaines, sewing kits, scissors, rulers, darners, thread holders, sewing machines, and more.

Historical information, material, date, country of origin, and a current collector value are given for each item. There's also a helpful glossary, bibliography, and index. This historical treasure will be an inspiring and fascinating trinket in itself, and a valuable tool for all sewing enthusiasts and collectors.
