I visited the #VADTartan 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: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jane-Austen-Embroidery-Authentic-embroidery/dp/1911624407
Jane Austin Embroidery by Jennie Batchelor and Alison Larkin. Great projects, excellent instructions, beautiful pictures and really good info.

Thinking about #crafting and #sewing 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 #HistoricalTextiles 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 #HistoricalTextiles, especially medieval and earlier, and #HistoricalPractice in sewing.
