Darned Collar & Pattern of Embroidery
c. 1938
Eva Wilson’s delicate study from around 1938 turns humble sewing scraps into a masterclass of observation. The top piece, a darned collar, features intricate floral embroidery rendered with such care you can almost feel the raised stitches. Below it, a rectangular strip shows a scalloped edge with a single loose thread dangling down, hinting at a project paused in time. It feels like a snapshot of a seamstress's table, preserving the texture of lace and the fragility of aged fabric with incredible precision.
