17c embroidery

 

Items can be commissioned - please contact Gina should you wish to discuss your requirements.

 

The pattern designs for this mobile phone case are based on some found on a 17th c jacket which is in the V&A - it is shown in 'Historical Fashion in Detail'. I have used silks and antique gold threads, along with silver spangles. The very intense red and darkest blue are commercially dyed, the other colours all hand dyed.
