Sewn In America: Making-Meaning-Memory History Presentation

Description

The program showcases sewing as a form of work and how important it was until ready-to-wear fashion became the norm. Sewing was seen as feminine and women used needlework to earn a living, furnish their homes, and express themselves. The audience is invited to bring personal examples of needlework and stories to go with them. Based on an exhibit from the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum in Washington, D.C. Presented by Missy Hermes, Education Coordinator at the Otter Tail County Museum.
