April 2014 Sarah Thursfield: Seamstress
A very interesting & entertaining talk by Sarah  about "Linens", but it really was more like a journey through the centuries looking at the different shirt and chemise styles. Sarah actively supports some re-enactment events and has made many a costume for these. As most people who have an interest in sewing, she was taught by her Grandma at an early age and made her own doll's clothes. In 2001 she wrote "The Medieval Tailor's Assistant" to enable more people to make authentic costumes.
