What is heirloom sewing? Heirlooms are hand made and meant to be treasured by families for generations to come. Hand made family pieces, such as the projects Mrs. Ross is licensed to teach, are always sought after. Heirlooms are stitched knowing that probably they will be around much longer that the person who made the garment or other item. The heirlooms, which Jane Ross has been licensed to teach, are fashioned after elegant Victorian clothing which was extremely popular around 1900. The revival of heirloom sewing started around 1970 and is more popular today than when it began. At one time heirlooms were made completely by hand but with today’s computer technologically advanced sewing machines and sergers, almost all of this type of sewing and embroidery is done by machine. Husqvarna/Viking has been one of the leaders in helping people who love to sew have the luxury of returning to their sewing machines to create these masterpieces.
