From Make Believe to a Passion: Textile History
I don’t know about you, but when I was young I loved to play make-believe. Perhaps that was the beginning of my love for acting and writing, but that is a topic for another time. I distinctly remember grabbing my bedsheets, blankets, and scarves and wrapping them about myself, trying to dress up like a queen of a far off land, or the protective fairy of a glenn. I used knots, string, safety pins, and whatever else I could use to make the sheets and blankets stay in place and drape into a makeshift ball gown or cape. I would have mounds of material on my bed as I sorted through what would make the best material for the costume I had in mind. Such childhood fantasy grew a lot of future habits, but the one that came as a shock was my interest in sewing and textile work.
