Does anyone else follow the Fashion & Textile Museum on Facebook ? I've done so since I visited for their Liberty exhibition a year or so ago. They don't bombard you with posts and they're always interesting or just beautiful and often both like these Turkish sewing artifacts.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Isn't it fabulous? I got stuck in there for ages before finding an escape hatch!

We could take turns in picking our favourite of the week every Monday to cheer folks up.

How beautiful, and interesting to note that the design of scissors hasn't really changed that much through the centuries.
