Margrete Tora Drejer (13 October 1889 – 15 May 1975) was a Danish painter and textile artist who is remembered for the important part she played in teaching the art and history of sewing and textile decoration to women of all ages.

[3] She was brought up in a home on Amager, where both her mother and her grandmother were skilled embroiderers.

Her elder sister, Valborg, was trained by Kristiane Konstantin-Hansen and Johanne Bindesbøll.

[2] From 1904, Drejer spent four years at the Tegne- og Kunstindustriskolen for Kvinder (Women's School for Drawing and Craftmanship) where she learned both painting and embroidery, including goldwork, hedebo and fiber work.

[2] Drejer was a major contributor to the three-volume needlework lexicon Berlingske Haandarbejds-Bog in which she naturally covered goldwork and hedebo but also, rather surprisingly, crochet.
