I visited the exhibition at the V&A Dundee a few days ago and was very impressed with the broad range of objects displayed as well as by the diverse stories and viewpoints expressed through the interpretative materials. Here is a small selection of garments that caught my eye.

This exhibition runs through Sunday, 14 January 2024.

Another great video from The Welsh Viking, this time on historical mending.

On a related note, this book is wonderful: amazon.co.uk/Jane-Austen-Embro

Jane Austin Embroidery by Jennie Batchelor and Alison Larkin. Great projects, excellent instructions, beautiful pictures and really good info.

Thinking about and goals for the new year.

I have many WIPs I'd like to get back to, from spinning the rest of that alpaca fleece I got free off a friend and making something with it, to getting the blackwork done for the collar and cuffs of my black linen shirt dress so I can finally finish making it.

I'd also like to catch up with my reading.

Goals have to fit in with my inability to do anything much productive after work unless it's lapwork.

Hi, I'm Fred (she/they), I'm a museum curator with specialisms in architecture and historical costume, and a deeply geeky interest in the history of folklore and belief. I've got a handful of publication credits, fiction and non-fiction, and am working towards more.

I'm super into , especially medieval and earlier, and in sewing.

@Fredatron Some of my concert t-shirts are old enough to be considered
