First you got to spin, then weave, then sew — and even then, when you have the clothes, you need to mend and launder as necessary to keep them in good condition. And iron, if wrinkles are a problem. Fancy clothing may require embroidery and lace-making, though that tends to be upper-class. Knitting and crochet can also come into play.
All of these are feminine tasks, undertaken by women and proving them womanly; among well-to-do characters, this is a sign of old-fashioned virtue, especially if other women devote the time to partying, and among poorer ones, a sign of them being thrifty housekeepers. The princess or other lady, handing out The Lady's Favour to the Knight in Shining Armor, often made it with her own hands. This is the source of the distaff in Distaff Counterpart.
The Rebellious Princess and other tomboyish female characters are likely to be bad at them, which is generally treated in more modern works less seriously than it was in Real Life. Expect a tomboy in a pre-modern setting to be forced to sit through a sewing lesson and be terrible at it, her stitches flying all over the cloth, while being compared to a more feminine girl her age (often her sister) who can do it perfectly.
Female textile work was in fact an economic activity of major importance to the welfare of her kin group given the lack of department stores and ready-made clothes for most of human history. In Imperial China, silk (or sometimes linen) woven by the women of the household was used to pay taxes. In Norse folklore, spinning and weaving were key elements in woman's magic, seiðr.
The art most frequently depicted is spinning, which is the most time-consuming, and also easily portable and interruptible. This makes spinning, along with other textile arts such as weaving and knitting, very compatible with childcare. With a distaff, a woman can spin with one hand, leaving the other available to aid with nursing. Once a child is past infancy, they can aid in the textile process as well by teasing fleece, carding, and once they reach an age at which they have control of their hands, in the spinning itself. This historical fact is why, until well into the 20th century, textile arts excepting the more labor-intensive activities (such as fulling flax, rope-making, weaving, etc.) were feminine by default.note This is of course complex, and depends on what area of the world we're talking about. In Northern Europe in the Middle Ages, especially in cities, weaving was a male occupation, organized in guilds. Beginning in the latter part of the 20th century, this convention faded steadily due to a combination of industrialization, the craft movement, and increasing gender equality.
Men — more commonly associated with comparatively masculine metalworking — who engage in such work must pull off Real Men Wear Pink to be taken seriously in most works. Even in Fairy Tales, the tailor is more prone to be a trickster than a dragon-slayer. Compare Feminine Women Can Cook, with the added advantage that it's easy to lug about a distaff or some sewing or knitting and do it anywhere.
The Industrial Revolution was the Trope Breaker, slowly working down the tasks. Though early textile mills relied on a young female workforce, spinning and weaving were among the first things that automation took over. In the 1950s, the Housewife had a sewing machine. Since then, textile arts have seesawed between "cool hobby" (which is where they are now) and "fit only for old ladies" (which is where they were in the 1980s). Naturally, since most writers are middle-aged and grew up in the 1980s, media directed at young males mostly perpetuates the inaccurate (and rather strange) idea that nobody knits anymore. Cue laughter from the 8.5 million users (2% of whom are guys) of Ravelry.
These days being a fashion designer is largely the replacement, though not without carrying over some stereotypes from this trope.

Emma:
Emma isn't in handiwork a lot, but she says she may make carpetwork when she's older.
English Rose Jane Fairfax sews very well, among her other numerous accomplishments. She's said to be making stuff for her aunt and grandma.
In Northanger Abbey, one particular friend of Miss Thorpe's, a Miss Andrews, is netting herself the sweetest cloak Catherine could conceive.

In the Heralds of Valdemar novel Take a Thief, Skif is mocked by the other boy Trainees for being in the laundry/mending chore section at the Collegium - he'd learned to do it as a thief, as dirty and/or damaged clothing is easier to take without being noticed, and cleaning and mending it before taking it to the fence improves the resale value substantially for zero risk - until he points out that this means he's the only boy in a room full of girls, at which point he is suspected of secret genius.

In Breath of the Wild's expansion DLC "The Champions' Ballad", the light-blue Non-Uniform Uniform outfits worn by the Champions are said to have all been sewn by Princess Zelda. Considering the high defense stats that Link's Champion's Tunic has, it's also made with very durable and high-quality material on top of being well-sewn.

In The Chronicles of Prydain, embroidering tapestries is one of the skills Eilonwy is expected to learn as a lady. Like with most of her lessons, she's not too fond of it. She does make a banner for Taran, but her comments on how well it went when she tried to put a picture of Taran in would suggest that she's not exactly great at it.

Among other things, she's seen using a Western sewing machine and teaching the local male Old Retainer how to sew manually so he can help her out.

Fire Emblem has more than one example:
In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Ninja Maid Cherche is pretty good at sewing and likes taking charge of anything related to keep the group's clothes well-maintained. The other two who are skilled at needlepoint, however, are Gerome and Gaius. Unsurprisingly, Gerome is Cherche's Kid from the Future. And Gaius can be his father, if the player hooks him up with Cherche.
In the Female Avatar's support chain with her potential boyfriend Priam, she repays him for helping her train by both cleaning his training gear and washing/sewing his cape. The discovery flusters the Hell out of him.
In Fire Emblem Fates, the support chain between Camilla and Hinoka shows that Camilla is pretty good at sewing and knitting, and in the C one she says she repaired the Avatar's cape with her own hands. She then offers to teach Hinoka how to sew in an attempt to bond with her, and Hinoka accepts even when it takes her a while to start doing it well.
Oboro is the daughter of a famous deceased tailor and not only she's very fashionable, but she's damn good at sewing and knows a lot about clothing. Her dream is to have her own kimono shop, she offers Hayato to repair his clothes when she sees him fidgeting in front of her in their S support, she also chooses Takumi's clothes for special occasions, an official art piece has her sewing, and at least two of her potential children, Rhajat and Gaius' expy Asugi, have inherited her sewing talents.
In the Second Generation group, Forrest zigzags this since he's a guy who can sew extremely well... but he's also a very, VERY girly guy.
If the Crown of Nibelung manga is to be believed, the Female Avatar is a pretty decent seamstress too.

In No Evil Kajortoq is probably the most feminine of the spirits and she spends a lot of time sewing and weaving. She even enchants some of her work, like the poppy-embroidered ponchos that keep the cold-blooded spirits warm in winter and some saddle-blankets that she promises the jackalope salesman will make the jackalopes that wear them equal to his best animal (too bad for him that he tries to hoist off an unruly beast as "his best animal" in exchange for them).

Alex's mother in When Women Were Dragons conforms very closely with middle-class American 1950's femininity. Part of her femininity is expressed in her careful sewing, knitting, and decorative knotwork. The knots in particular are also relevant to her mathematical work and family tradition.

Very justified in the case of Mira Kagami in Tokimeki Memorial: She is from a poor household, so she learned to sew as a way to help her mother take care of her siblings. If the Player Character lets Mira borrow his coat under some special circumstances note (he must walk her home from the New Years Ball, she must be in the "blushing" stage aka have feelings for him, and he has to offer her his jacket since she has no coat), she will repair it before returning it.

The Odyssey: Penelope is putting off the suitors with her weaving—not, for once, clothes, but a cloth to be used at her father-in-law's funeral (he is, in fact, still alive). She tears it apart every night and starts again in the morning.

Also used in Beka Cooper. Beka's younger sisters are both being trained in sewing by Lady Teodorie, and Beka is quite good herself. She is surprised to learn in Bloodhound not that Goodwin sews (which is a standard skill for a medieval woman) but that she embroiders.

The Four Loves: C. S. Lewis recounts the story of a Mrs. Fidget, who included both knitting and sewing among her wifely and maternal virtues. Which meant the others in the family had to wear the things. (Her death caused them to donate a lot of them.)

Circleverse: The world has many kinds of magic worked through crafts. Two characters are "stitch witches" who work through, and enjoy working with, thread and cloth. All of the main four, including the boy Briar (though he uses cotton and flax since his magic is with plants), learn to spin fibers into thread, but it's primarily shown around the two women whose magic is worked through it.

Snow White with the Red Hair: While Kiki was known to like sewing and embroidery no art of the knight doing so was produced outside of an sketch of her doing so while in a dress with very feminine hair as a child until her position as Lady Seiran started making her have to dress like a noblewoman rather than a knight more often, her stoic nature had mellowed and she got engaged, all things which brought out a feminine side of her that wasn't prevalent for the first several volumes.

In Tolkien's Legendarium's works, all the mentioned textile workers are women. Vairë (the title of one of the Valier) means "weaver"; and Luthien, Galadriel, and Arwen are all accomplished weavers. As with other elven crafts, there is a magical element to their work (Luthien's cloak is the most explicitly magical, as she is by far the most powerful). Much more significantly, Fëanor's mother Miriel is said to be highly skilled in sewing, embroidery and "other skills requiring finesse": even by the standards of the highly artistic Noldor. She ends up working for the aforementioned Vairë weaving the stories of the House of Finwë. Which is what the Legendarium basically is (the only one of the stories that has nothing to do with a member of Finwë's extended family is The Hobbit). In one story, Tolkien tells of a 9th Century Anglo-Saxon lord who becomes stranded on Tol Eressëa and writes down the stories that Tolkien claims to have "translated" based off of Miriel's tapestries and the recollections of the elves living on that island. So the "real version" of Tolkien's Legendarium, is actually the work of Miriel: but we have to be content with the written version since we can't go to Valinor.

Played with in Persona 4. Kanji Tatsumi enjoys doing textile work and is very talented in doing it, since his mother is the owner of the local textile shop. However, because of this trope, he has trouble when dealing with girls, as well as lacking confidence in his manliness. Obviously, his social link then revolves around this and him dealing with all of this.

Averted in The Owl House, where the only two characters who are ever shown with an affinity for sewing are Darius and Hunter, neither of whom are ever treated as being unmanly for it. Then again, most forms of discrimination flat out don't exist on the Boiling Isles, so the idea of traditional gender roles is probably a foreign concept.

In Fire Emblem Fates, the support chain between Camilla and Hinoka shows that Camilla is pretty good at sewing and knitting, and in the C one she says she repaired the Avatar's cape with her own hands. She then offers to teach Hinoka how to sew in an attempt to bond with her, and Hinoka accepts even when it takes her a while to start doing it well.
Oboro is the daughter of a famous deceased tailor and not only she's very fashionable, but she's damn good at sewing and knows a lot about clothing. Her dream is to have her own kimono shop, she offers Hayato to repair his clothes when she sees him fidgeting in front of her in their S support, she also chooses Takumi's clothes for special occasions, an official art piece has her sewing, and at least two of her potential children, Rhajat and Gaius' expy Asugi, have inherited her sewing talents.
In the Second Generation group, Forrest zigzags this since he's a guy who can sew extremely well... but he's also a very, VERY girly guy.
If the Crown of Nibelung manga is to be believed, the Female Avatar is a pretty decent seamstress too.

A Brother's Price: Features a broad inversion of most gender roles. As men, Jerin Whistler and Cullen Moorland are expected to have an interest in fashions, textiles, embroidery, and so on, but while they're both proficient at these things, neither has a love of it. Some female characters - tailors - have an interest, but others don't think about it at all.

In Breath of the Wild's expansion DLC "The Champions' Ballad", the light-blue Non-Uniform Uniform outfits worn by the Champions are said to have all been sewn by Princess Zelda. Considering the high defense stats that Link's Champion's Tunic has, it's also made with very durable and high-quality material on top of being well-sewn.

Cinderella: While the mice are prepping Cinderella's pink dress so that she can go to the ball, one female mouse tells Jacques to "leave the sewing to the women!" It's downplayed, though. Given that we later see a male mouse helping sew the dress, it's possible she simply didn't trust him not to screw up with the sewing, as opposed to male mice in general.

The Tyrolean and German girls in the Chalet School books are big on sewing, periods are set aside for mending clothes, and being able to sew and mend is considered an important ability for a potential wife and homemaker. More tomboyish or rebellious girls, such as Cornelia and Joey, hate sewing, and Joey's efforts drive Gisela to distraction in the early books. Several girls in the Hobbies Club do various crafts as their hobbies.

Cardcaptor Sakura, both Sakura and Tomoyo fulfill this in different ways:
To give thanks for comforting her after being turned down by Yukito, she spends a week making Syaoran a scarf. Similarly, in the manga, Sakura returns the favor by spending a week making him a yukata.
Tomoyo regularly makes and designs costumes for Sakura to fight in. She custom makes the costumes so they would fit the situation and protect Sakura from whatever the cards throw her.

The title character in Lysistrata has a long speech in which she compares the management of a state to the preparation of wool for weaving, to make the point that women have a stake in the way the government is run.

A Tale of Two Cities: Features Madame Defarge and her fellow female revolutionaries during the Reign of Terror, who sit beside the guillotine and encode the names of the executed into their sewing patterns. This is based on the real-life tricoteuses who famously knitted beside the guillotine so casually.

Subverted in The Wheel of Time. Most female protagonists are Aes Sedai, and when Aes Sedai speak of 'weaving,' they're really talking about magic and/or casting spells (for example, a fire spell is referred to as a 'fire weave'.)

She even has a very specific goal in regards to her tailoring/sewing skills: making uniforms for the other pilots before it's her time to pilot Zearth and die as a consequence. She manages to only make some of them, but the remaining girls take up this little "task".

In Odd Squad, Olive reveals herself to be quite the seamstress, managing to make a Burly Bears basketball outfit and a Burly Bears soccer outfit. Ironically, despite being a girl, she's far from feminine and is instead a Tomboy.
In "A Case of the Sing-Alongs", Ms. O is shown weaving purple string through a needle at one point, hinting that she may also have some skill in sewing.
Inverted in the case of Oscar, who is male. He is a very capable tailor and has a sewing kit handy for whatever fashion-related thing might come up.
Also inverted for O'Q, Precinct 13579's personal tailor introduced in Season 2, who is also male and works in the Tailoring department of Odd Squad. His job, as well as the job of those in the department, is to design and alter the uniforms of agents in every department, from Investigation to Science.

The Chinese poem The Ballad of Mulan starts with Mulan weaving while lamenting that her father was too old to serve in the army and her brother was too young to take his place, which prompted her to do just that. There are deleted scenes from the Disney film that depicted her working at a loom, most likely as a reference to the original ballad.

The Bible:
Delilah weaves Samson's hair into the web of her loom. Even ladies of her high social class took pride in doing such work.
The Book of Proverbs example quoted above sings the praises of a woman who runs a textile business as well as taking care of her family. It's often used by some sects in the modern age to demonstrate "a woman's place", but it was actually written to encourage men to appreciate what their wives were doing. Indeed, the woman in the poem is portrayed as strong and capable, and her husband boasts about her to his friends and colleagues.
Dorcas (or Tabitha) from Acts 9 makes clothing for widows and the poor.

My Dress-Up Darling: Much of male lead Wakana Gojo's social anxiety comes from a former childhood friend calling him a freak over his love of dolls and dollmaking, and he's horrified when Marin walks in on him using the school's sewing machine out of fear that she'll think less of him for being good at it. Much of his character development comes from Marin helping helping him realize that his interests are just as valid as anyone else's.

Game of Thrones: The Establishing Character Moment for the two Stark daughters — Sansa Stark is praised for her needlework, while Arya Stark runs out of the classroom to take part in archery. Sansa is also shown to be a proficient embroiderer, furrier, and leatherworker and is responsible for making her own clothes as well as items for other characters. Later Arya is given a sword which she names Needle in acknowledgement of her desire to be a great warrior instead. Subverted in Season Four when Littlefinger points out to Sansa Stark that She Is All Grown Up and no longer The Ingenue... at the time Sansa is sewing what is later revealed to be her Evil Costume Switch.

In an early episode of Home Improvement, Brad joins a sewing class purely in order to meet girls. Unfortunately, this backfires on him; his classmates find out what he's doing and join the class too, meaning it winds up being a class full of guys and he's still stuck sewing.
Later on, the idea winds up being subverted when Brad is seen working on his project at home while dealing with Randy and Mark teasing him. Al, who is watching the boys as Tim and Jill are out, tells them that he actually had to learn how to sew when he was in the Navy as it is considered an important skill for servicemen.

Suffragette: This trope is, as befitting the time, played completely straight. Almost all the protagonists who are shown working are laundering clothes (the one exception being a woman who works in her husband's pharmacy)...a not only time-consuming and boring but also very hard and dangerous job. The protagonist's mother died in a work accident. Most women take their infants to work regardless, as they need the money.

Earth's Children's Clan of the Cave Bear: Making clothes - not textiles, but out of animal skins - cleaning, etc. is women's work. In the Clan, males and females have different Genetic Memory such that women can't hunt and men can't cook/make clothes/etc.

In The Six Swans and "The Wild Swans", the Wicked Stepmother sews six magical shirts to transform her stepsons into swans. Her stepdaughter sets out to save the swan princes by sewing six shirts from starflowers and becoming an Elective Mute. She either finishes right before being executed for crimes that she never commited or is still sewing when she's about to be burned at the stake; in any way, her brothers rescue her and put on the shirts to recover their human forms and prove her innocence.

Early on in High School D×D, Issei is stressing out the night before a very important dodgeball game and decides to calm his nerves by... embroidering headbands for his team. The girls on the team are shocked that Issei, a very stereotypical teenage male horndog goofball, does enough of such a feminine skill to be so good at it. It's an early hint that there's a lot more to Issei than his behavior and narration let on.

Gunslinger Girl. There's a scene where cyborg girl Henrietta (who's treated like a kid sister by her handler) is sewing up her shirt in her dorm room, while Rico (whose handler gave her a man's name and treats her like a weapon) is Gun Stripping her pistol. Subverted in that Henrietta is sewing up a bullethole in her shirt after washing all the blood out after being shot.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Rarity is considerably the most feminine of the mane 6. She designs and sews her own fashions.
Even the second place for the most feminine, Fluttershy, turns out to have "freaky knowledge" about sewing.
In the micro-series comics, Fluttershy has an 'Extreme Knitting' hobby, which she treats as a Guilty Pleasure. Her cottage has a secret room behind a bookcase, full of objects such as 'cups' for chickens to sit on, parasprites, butterflies, birds, books, dragons... every single one of them made through knitting.

Doctor Who:
The First Doctor companion Barbara does dressmaking as a hobby, but neither Susan nor Vicki can sew despite them both being interested in materials and always making a beeline for dress fabric in any settings where it's available (such as "The Keys of Marinus" and "The Romans"). In "The Chase", Vicki actually charges in on Barbara making her a dress while seeking attention, causing her to slice through the fabric and ruin it.
In "The Androids of Tara", Strella is working on an embroidery frame in her cell, and she and Romana are mildly discussing the work when the Doctor finds them.
In "The King's Demons", the lady of the castle embroiders while talking with her husband.

Braveheart: Briefly touched on. Edward Longshanks dispatches his daughter-in-law to occupy William Wallace's attention while he recruits troops for a sneak attack, of which he informs no one. When she returns and gives her report, Edward - somewhat dismissively - gives her permission to "return to her [your] embroidery", not suspecting that Isabelle is playing up her feminine facade after coming to sympathize with Wallace and his campaign.

The Book of Proverbs example quoted above sings the praises of a woman who runs a textile business as well as taking care of her family. It's often used by some sects in the modern age to demonstrate "a woman's place", but it was actually written to encourage men to appreciate what their wives were doing. Indeed, the woman in the poem is portrayed as strong and capable, and her husband boasts about her to his friends and colleagues.

In Richard Wagner's The Flying Dutchman, female lead Senta is introduced when a bunch of other girls in her village, under the direction of their Team Mom Mary, are using their spins to get some textile materials ready for use, but Senta herself is slacking off. She then scares the shit out of her companions as she switches from singing with them a local tune about spinning ("Summ und brumm, du gutes Rädchen", transl. as "Whirl and whirl, good wheel") to telling them the story of the Dutchman.

Kill la Kill:
Averted, as all of the sewing club members (who make the shows superpowered school uniforms) seem to be male and both of the Kamui were created by men, the same man, in fact.
That said, Nui is probably the most feminine character in the series and she's the tailor for the Big Bad, so it's not just men. She did pose as a guy, though, and apparently made the disguise herself.

In Mariana Pineda by Federico García Lorca, the title character embroidering a liberal slogan on a flag is an important plot point. Needlework also gets mentioned several times during the play as Foreshadowing. The heroine of the ballad that Mariana's children sing in the second act is shown embroideiring; several characters also comment positively on Mariana's sewing skill.
Averted in the conversation between Mariana and the police chief Pedrosa, where Pedrosa mentions that embroidering is the hobby of the Spanish king.

Little House on the Prairie: Both Ma and Laura hate sewing, but are still skilled, efficient seamstresses due to this trope (worth noting that the only jobs available to a woman at that time would be teaching and sewing, so they have to take those jobs if they want any chance to make money). At one point, she gets a job helping a woman in town sew shirts for all the bachelors who don't have a wife to do it for them, and the woman comments that Laura beats her sewing buttonholes. The narration explains that Laura hates sewing buttonholes so much, she's learned to do it quickly. The day Pa buys Ma a sewing machine is almost the happiest we ever see her, and when Laura gets innovative with muslin sheets, Ma, normally a traditionalist, only comments, "Our grandmothers would turn in their graves, but after all, these are modern times." By contrast, Laura's sister Mary does seem to enjoy sewing, enough that she learns to do hems and the like by touch after losing her sight.

Queens of Mewni:
Urania, the First Queen, was the daughter of weavers and weaved her own royal outfits and those of her daughters.
Sky, Moon's biological mother, was able to combine her weaving abilities with her magic to make spelled armor and cloth golems. She also, notably, was the one to weave all the tapestries of the queens from Urania to her mother Diana. Fittingly, she is remembered in history as Sky the Weaver. When she found the real Book of Spells and found out Urania had been a weaver as well, she squeaked in shock.

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Ninja Maid Cherche is pretty good at sewing and likes taking charge of anything related to keep the group's clothes well-maintained. The other two who are skilled at needlepoint, however, are Gerome and Gaius. Unsurprisingly, Gerome is Cherche's Kid from the Future. And Gaius can be his father, if the player hooks him up with Cherche.
In the Female Avatar's support chain with her potential boyfriend Priam, she repays him for helping her train by both cleaning his training gear and washing/sewing his cape. The discovery flusters the Hell out of him.

In The Red Tent, Jacob's wives are all seen working on textiles in some capacity. Zilpah and Bilhah are said to be especially good at it. Bilhah tells Dinah a "Just So" Story about how women learned spinning and weaving from a goddess named Enhenduanna, and Bilhah's "personal goddess" is Uttu, also associated with weaving. After Bilhah receives a beating for her affair with Reuben, a major tip-off that something in her has changed is that the thread she spins gradually becomes thinner and thinner before she runs away.

When Harumi's graduation approaches, Koutarou asks one of his female friends to join the club as a figurehead president, believing that first-year girls wouldn't want to join a Knitting Club run by a guy (especially not one with a face as scary as his).

Dr. STONE: Yuzuriha was a member of the handicrafts club prior to petrification, and once she's revived she's able to create clothing in seconds. Once they rediscover hemp fibers and weaving, she single-handedly reinvents fashion.

In the Rurouni Kenshin prequel one-shot To Rule Flame, Yumi Komagata's best friend Hanabi is a very good seamstress and is seen sewing back the buttons of a shirt belonging to Houji Sadoshima while singing happily. After Hanabi is bloodily murdered, Houji kinda repays the favor by shooting one of the culprits dead exactly on the spot where a chest button should go.

In The House of the Spirits, Clara's older sister Rosa spends almost all of her time sewing a massive and very complicated tapestry, which worries her mother Nivea as she fears it's all that she will ever be able to do well. The tapestry is left unfinished when she's fatally poisoned in an attempt on her father Severo's life.

Brainbent:
Rose and Kanaya both have an interest in textile arts - Rose knits, and Kanaya is a designer and seamstress.
Equius knits as well, although his case is more Real Men Wear Pink. (And he needs to use metal knitting needles because he tends to accidentally break plastic ones.)

The Great British Sewing Bee manages to avert the trope by having a few male contestants (and at least one male judge) in the series, however it's played straight in that there's still always a much greater ratio of women to men.
