You can find the story of Dorcus in Acts 9:36-43
To her friends she was also known as Tabitha, to some she was just another good seamstress. She was someone who could skillfully weave thread into a useful or even beautiful cover for the human body. A talent that undoubtedly put her in contact with many influential people.
She was a first century Christian who made her living by sewing. She served the Lord well, and when she died, Jesus, at work through Peter, brought her back to life. Therefore, Dorcus is more than an historical figure. She is a symbol of new life.
All who pull needle and thread creating something beautiful from cloth are Dorcus.
I, am just one of many.
And this is my story.
