Very interesting, read very fluently
Made me want to embroider every piece of clothing I own, but bc I can’t embroider neither do I have the recourses, I didn’t bother..
If u r a bit creative (doesn’t matter in what aspect) and interested in some history I would recommend :)

The amount of post-its I put into this, I might as well just buy my own copy...

I'm in awe of the author's knowledge - she knows so much about a massive collection of sewing history. However, that makes the book overwhelming and at times hard to follow. It took me over a year to read - a few paragraphs about this artist and moment in time, bit by bit. Maybe that was her goal as in a way it is an echo of the sewing experience.

A great book from start to finish. I was consistently amazed by Hunter's depth of research, and loved how she was able to keep things personal and human while being so erudite. Several parts made me cry. Although I don't sew myself, this made me appreciate the needlework around me so much more, especially that of the women in my family. I think that anyone, whether knowledgeable in needlework or not, would benefit from reading this.
I listened to the audiobook, and thought it was a lovely touch to pick a narrator with a Scottish accent.

I didn't read the synopsis and it wasn't what I thought it was.
