Hello

[The Seamstress]

So... hi there. After a bit of lurking, I decided to create an account - though I'm honestly not sure what to do with it yet. Probably more lurking.

As my username suggests, I'm interested in all things historical dress/fashion & sewing, and I always like to dabble in related crafts. I'm a trained dressmaker and historian (desperately trying to finish a master's thesis), also an avid reader and book hoarder collector. I guess that's the most important info about me, for now.

Thank you!

Hello hello! Lovely to have you here

Of course do make yourself at home and please do feel free to post and comment things anywhere, though equally no pressure to! With your particular skill-set if you ever feel like posting bits of your stuff in The Artisans' Guilds then that would be super cool!

[The Seamstress]

Thanks! 

At the moment I don't feel like I have anything interesting to share (hence the lurking), as I'm only slowly getting back into doing more creative stuff after a longer hiatus. But I hope there'll be something eventually!

If your interests include 14th/15th century Latin Christendom you might be interested in https://ageofdatini.info/vocationes.html

Yis, never any hurry, hope you do find space for the creative things - it's always tricky in postgrad life, I know the problem well

A bit earlier than my usual centuries of interest (16th-19th), but I'll definitely go have a look, it seems to be a treasure trove of info & sources. Thank you!

Thank you! For different reasons, my MA thesis has been dragging on for quite a while now (started 2019), and I'd like to see it all done and printed rather sooner than later - there's still lots of stuff left to do, though. But I'll get there, albeit sloooowly.

Yeah, I very much was in the "need to get this done this year at long last" thing with my PhD last year Good luck!
