SEWING ROOM
| This spacious room was Mrs.
Ivinson’s sewing room. Sewing and other hand-crafts like embroidery,
quilting, darning, crochet, and lace-making were very popular with
Victorian women. One reason this is so is due to the "delicate nature" of
the women. It was rather in vogue to be tender or delicate and wealthy
women did little work around the house, so women with leisure time often
gathered together in the afternoon to work on craft projects such as
these. This room currently has a
display of Victorian era clothing. There are beautiful items ranging from
hats and dresses to cold weather outerwear. The close-up viewing of these
pieces lets one see the wonderful workmanship of the items.
