EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "I never saw sewing so small, c1900-1950" takes us back to the early 20th century. The image showcases a bustling shop interior where a woman stands behind a counter, engrossed in examining an intricately sewn apron. Her face is filled with concentration as she inspects every stitch with precision. Surrounded by shelves adorned with colorful fabrics and sewing baskets, this female shop assistant epitomizes the skill and dedication required for garment-making during that era. The curtain backdrop adds a touch of elegance to the scene while metaphorically separating the world of sewing from everyday life. Intriguingly, we also notice a man standing nearby holding a pestle and mortar – perhaps an unexpected customer or someone seeking advice on fabric choices? This interaction between genders highlights how sewing was not solely confined to women but involved both men and women alike. The print's monochrome palette accentuates the fine details of the clothing on display, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind each piece. It is evident that this photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an entire era when craftsmanship reigned supreme in clothing production. As we delve into this snapshot from history through "I never saw sewing so small" we are reminded of the beauty found within meticulous handiwork and how it continues to inspire generations even today.
