In this week’s episode, we take a road trip to the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives in Butte, Montana. The Archives currently features an exhibit of vintage sewing machines from the collection of Virgil “Sarge” Sargent. The machines—from a late 1800s Willcox and Gibbs chainstitch machine all the way up to a 1960s Singer Rocketeer—detail the importance of sewing in this iconic western town, accompanied by a wealth of accessories, quilts, and vintage clothing from area collectors. Janet sat down for a lively conversation with the three organizers of the exhibit: Laura Sargent (Sarge’s widow), Leslie Doyle, and Rose Brock. Come along as we explore the history of sewing in the wild west.
