Sewing was an important skill for a woman in the 17th century and was taught to girls of all classes from an early age.
Plain sewing - hemming and seaming - was of particular value for the production of underclothes and basic household linens. Only a privileged few, however, were able to afford the time and materials for embroidery. There appear to have been a number of accepted markers in the development of a competent needlewoman. First a band sampler was completed, illustrating the range of stitches and techniques that the girl had mastered.
Then these skills were developed by sewing a more complex and demanding cut-work sampler. It is probable that each individual figure or element was sewn independently and then applied to the delicate white satin background. Different scenes, almost certainly derived from contemporary prints, adorn each of the five visible surfaces of the casket. Physical description. National Trust Images.
