Our fifteenth calendar post is a mended shirt. From Forsby church, Sweden.
Here we can see a close up on the patch. The patch is sewn on to the outside of the shirt. Both the patch and the shirt are made in linen.
The item dates to 1250- 1350 AD.
Now in collections of Historiska museet, Sweden
Hi, do you know what the thread count is? It’s always nice to get a reference point to how thick/fine the fabric is.
