This Sewtember, Raglan Museum / Te Whare Taonga o Whaingaroa invites you to step back in time with our special Pop-Up Display!
Come explore a fascinating collection of old irons and sewing machines, carefully curated to showcase the evolution of these essential household items.
Nestled in the Atrium, amongst the Whaingaroa Tiaki Taiao / Save the Planet Exhibition, this display offers a glimpse into a bygone era. From irons heated on coal range stoves to those filled with hot coals, to the very first electric irons—each piece tells a story of innovation and daily life. The exhibit also features classic Singer sewing machines and even miniature versions that, while small, were used for actual sewing tasks.
Join us in celebrating the craftsmanship and history of these remarkable tools. Whether you’re a history buff, a sewing enthusiast, or just curious about the past, there’s something here for everyone. Don’t miss out on this unique Sewtember showcase at Raglan Museum.
Visit us today and take a journey through time.
