SUMMARY:Fancywork: Needlework\, Quilting and Crafts in the 1800s by Dr. Cynthia Resor
DESCRIPTION:For thousands of years\, women were responsible for "plain sewing" spinning\, weaving\, and sewing textiles for everyday use. In the 1800s\, the Industrial Revolution produced factory-made fabrics\, mass-produced sewing machines\, and inexpensive ready-made clothing. These innovations gave average women time for "fancywork" decorative sewing\, crocheting\, knitting\, embroidery\, patchwork and appliqu  quilting\, and craft projects.\n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, we'll explore how factory-made sewing and craft supplies influenced trends like crazy quilting\; how the ideology of separate spheres for women and men influenced decorating the home with fancywork\; fancywork created to sell charity bazaars and fundraising fairs\; and the wide range of fancywork including techniques not common in the 21st century such hair work\, bobbin work\, netting\, and potichomania.
