In this Summer 2019 issue of Piecework you can read about “The Turbulent History of the Sewing Machine” and how its development threatened jobs, caused conflict amongst its originators, and brought about innovations in patent-sharing and marketing. Read about Luisa Sanfelice, known as the Martyr of the Parthenopeon Republic, and knit the exquisite baby jacket inspired by a painting of her (featured on the magazine cover).
Step back into the nineteenth century and discover “The Arts & Crafts Movement in Britain”, create a “Riot of Colour” and crochet the colourwork socks recreated from a vintage pair received by Piecework editor, Susan Strawn, or enjoy the “Leslie B Durst Sampler Collection” of embroidered stories.
Much, much more inside this fascinating magazine.
