Tens of millions of people engage in the delightful and fulfilling craft of sewing every day, yet it remains surprisingly underappreciated. The Point of the Needle aims to rectify this imbalance by advocating for the importance of sewing in our lives. This captivating book not only celebrates the recent resurgence of sewing but also the remarkable creativity, well-being, and sense of community among sewists. Barbara Burman takes us on a journey to explore the voices of contemporary sewists, whether they use hand or machine techniques, delving into their motivations, values, and the profound reasons behind their passion for mending and repairing things. Through her storytelling, Burman unveils intimate glimpses into the world of sewing, shedding light on its rich tapestry of stories. In a time when fast fashion reigns supreme, with its environmental and social injustices, The Point of the Needle makes a passionate case for identity, diversity, resilience, and memory—the unique creations that people make for themselves through the art of stitching and making. This eloquent book serves as a testament to the power of sewing to inspire, connect, and nurture the human spirit.
