 Worshipful Company of Needlemakers - Definition 

The Worshipful Company of Needlemakers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Needlemakers received a Royal Charter in 1656. The Company gradually lost its role as a trade association, now acting as a supporter of the needle industry instead. Like a majority of Livery Companies, the Needlemakers' Company is also a charitable institution.

The Needlemakers' Company ranks sixty-fifth in the order of precedence for Livery Companies. Its motto is They Sewed Fig Leaves Together and Made Themselves Aprons.
