Sewing, knitting and textile crafts

For many women – and some men – involvement  in home textile crafts has been an important part of life, whether as a  social activity, a form of creative expression or a household necessity.

Arrival

Nineteenth-century  British settlers brought domestic textile crafts including sewing, quilting,  spinning, knitting, weaving, embroidery, lacemaking, crochet and tatting.

Historically  many women were unpaid housewives. Whether it was mending old items or making  new ones, sewing and knitting were vital day-to-day tasks. Meanwhile  decorative crafts such as lacemaking and embroidery allowed them to beautify  their homes on a budget.

Sewing

Although  there were commercial dressmakers and tailors after 1840, many people could  not afford clothing made by professionals, and home sewing remained a  necessary skill for women and girls. Most girls were taught to sew by older  female relations.

From  1899 all girls attending public primary schools with women teachers had to  learn needlework. At times boys were also taught to sew.

The  first sewing machines arrived in New Zealand in the mid-1850s.

Knitting, spinning and weaving

Spinning  and knitting were highly valued during the First and Second World Wars, and  women were urged to spin their own yarn and knit warm garments to send to  soldiers.

After  the wars these crafts, as well as weaving, grew in popularity. In the  mid-1980s, 70% of New Zealand households had a resident knitter.

Embroidery

Embroidery  was taught at schools from the 19th century. In 1970 it was removed from the  school examination schedule but it was still done by many women, and  embroidery guilds were formed.

Lace, crochet and tatting

In  these crafts thread is worked to create intricate patterns. Making lace by  hand is a particularly skilled and time-consuming task, so lace was very  valuable. Crochet and tatting were simpler and sometimes used as substitutes  for lace.

Quilting

Patchwork  quilts were a good way to use up fabric scraps. During the Second World War,  when fabric was in short supply, cotton sugar bags were cut up and used.

Cook  Islands migrants brought the craft of tīvaevae (appliquéd and patchworked  quilts) to New Zealand in the 1950s.

Decline and revival

In  the last quarter of the 20th century many women entered the paid workforce,  leaving them with less time to make things at home. As more cheap,  commercially made clothes and soft furnishings were imported into New  Zealand, particularly from the 1980s, there was a further decline in home  crafts.

In  the early 2000s a handcraft revival began, and greater numbers of women took  up these activities again.
