Do you like to sew, knit, crochet, dressmake etc? I do! I love to knit, mend and dressmake when I get the chance. It helps me relax, reduces my anxiety and lets me be creative. Plus I love vintage clothes so sewing is a way for me to alter or mend vintage clothes without spending a fortune. BUT do you know a lot about the history of home sewing?! No? Then read on for more info and the latest installment of the ‘Re:Sewn Fashion History’ podcast!
Re-Sewn – Women’s Activism & Clothing.
I’m a feminist and a proud one at that. I believe in equal rights for men and women irrespective of their social, religious, cultural or sexual background. I come from a long line of strong females; one of whom was an Irish speaking Suffragist in County Cork, Ireland and who is my namesake- my Great-Grandmother, Raicheal Bell Moran. View Post
