Sweet Bags
An Investigation into
16th & 17th Century Needlework
Jacqui Carey has been meticulously analysing English textiles that have survived from the late-sixteenth to early-seventeenth century. The object-based research revealed a range of ‘lost’ needlework stitches, and this book aims to re-establish an understanding of these stitches by looking specifically at sweet bags. These highly decorative little purses provide the focal point for looking at the context, structure and potential methods of some needlework dating from the Elizabethan, Jacobean and later Stuart periods.
Beautifully illustrated, with full references, this book will be a welcome addition to both the textile historian and the practical craftsperson.

Elizathan Stitches
A guide to Historic English Needlework
by: Jacqui Carey
Published by:
Carey Company
ISBN 0952322580
The author’s detailed study of surviving artefacts has revealed that many of the stitches found on 16th and 17th century textiles differ from those used today. For over one hundred years, publications discussing historic English needlework have described the historic stitches in relation to the stitches made popular by women such as Thérèse de Dillmont, Grace Christie (writing as Mrs. Archibald Christie), and Mary Thomas. However, the visual evidence found on the surviving textiles does not correspond with these modern interpretations. Unfortunately, most of the stitches shown in Elizabethan Stitches have been obsolete for so long that they do not appear in stitch dictionaries. It is hoped that this book will provide a valuable reference source for those wishing to identify and catalogue historic work, as well as providing practical ‘how-to’ instruction.
