Hello! I'm an art historian who studies material culture, specifically historical needlework. I specialise in the study of schoolgirl samplers and domestic embroidery, circa 1600-1900.

I'm in my final year of my PhD at King's College London, where I research Quaker women's needle, wax, and shellwork before 1800. I also run a podcast called Sew What?, all about historic needlework and those who stitched it.

Expect lots of lovely images of embroidery! #histodon #embroidery #needlework #textile

@isabellarosner Oh, this is fabulous! So excited to meet all of these people interested in needlework and textile crafts! Welcome, Isabella. :)
@isabellarosner This is so amazing....meanwhile, I can hardly sew a button back on.
@ImYourMausoleum Isn't it?! It really puts my own needlework to shame.
@isabellarosner I wish I was that talented at sewing lol

@isabellarosner nice to see you and follow your account.
Maybe you can help me:
I am looking for creative collaborators/partners who have skills in fashion design, fashion/textile history (late 17th century, England and connections), AND has skill and passion for digital art (2D & 3D), and maybe computer game development (social, role playing, immersive, open worlds) .

If you know anyone, please pass this on or send them my way.

@rcameronthomas Hi Russell! Sorry I'm seeing this so late. I know people who have skills in fashion design and fashion/textile history, but none of those people have digital art or computer game development skills. I'll keep an eye and ear out and will let you know if I come across anyone!
@isabellarosner thanks! If they have an interest in digital arts, that might be good enough.
