There is a very informative article about Sewing Birds in the December 2012 issue of Early American Life magazine.

Sewing Bird

The sewing bird or sewing clamp was a popular sewing accessory in the late 19th Century. It was also known as a hemming clamp. The bird's beak opens to hold the fabric by depressing the tail.

This sewing bird is a replica of an elaborate design made for Marshall Field Company of Chicago in the 1890's.

Measurements approximately: 3" w x 4 1/2"

Although functional, we recommend this item for decorative use.
