There are a mass of good movies to stitch by out there, for example, Pride and Prejudice. I find, a lot of great classics that show women stitching in them. Pride and Prejudice is not only one of my favorite movies, but it also shows young ladies stitching in the parlor as they await the arrival of prospective suitors. Since there are many versions of Pride and Prejudice, the version I have enjoyed the most is from The Romance Collection Special Edition. It is, by far, the most accurate depiction of the book written by Jane Austen. Whenever possible, I will try to examine the stitching scenes very carefully to pick up subtle nuances about the stitching environment in the movie. With a southern air, North and South starring Patrick Swayze shows women left and right in their voluminous antebellum skirts stitching away while the men have "more important matters to attend to." then was a way of life and an all-time classic hobby. In fact, it was considered a major part of formal education for young girls and women alike; and the alphabet was often stitched into what we now call a sampler.
Whenever I see some characters in movies at home . It makes me feel connected to that person; and there is the thrill I get when I see someone enjoying a wholesome craft that I and so many others enjoy. Also, the movies are great movies to stitch by. For we are ladies of standing as we are all part of the great class of stitchers.
