A Stitch In Time

I loved being able to look at the clothes close up. Are they being exhibited anywhere else? Really enjoying a Stitch in Time. I am a keen quilter with an interest in textiles and it is fascinating to watch the costumiers translating the clothes from the portraits available. Quite honestly it is a must-see in our office and we all agree that the programme could easily be minutes long with all the subject matter, particularly expanding the sewing techniques..

I hope the BBC commission another series — best thing on TV at the moment even my husband is enjoying the background history. Thanks you for your lovely message, and please pass my regards on to everyone in the office! The costumiers are absolutely brilliant. I adore this series. Thank you so much! Wonderful series, please BBC make another but longer episodes so we see more of the techniques used and learn more of the history.

Your series has been a joy to watch. Glad I came to this site and read that you are planning an exhibition. They have hosted some good touring exhibitions. Have you thought about recreating the ancient Celtic cloaks that were so highly regarded by the invading Roman soldiers for their warmth and waterproofness that they became exported all over the roman empire? I know the Irish Celts had their versions too I think without the hood, and shorter.

Perhaps combine it with another item of Celtic clothing as well to fill out the time? That said, me and the family, loving the show. Really love the show. Not involved in clothing industry, just interested in a lot of different things. Hope there is another series as I have found it really fascinating and educational. Loved learning about the techniques involved in reproducing historical costumes.

What a wonderful show — every sewer and historical fashion aficionado I know has been transfixed! A beautiful show, loved the historic clothes and seeing how they were made. I hope there will be another series in the future. Is it available and where might I buy it? The label is Ci Ci x. Hi Amber, absolutely loved this programme. So interesting to the garments being recreated and the mixture of art, history, fashion and design.

This kept the shroud and body together. Otherwise the nine pounds of shot would be wasted. Of course, now it means, if something needs attention, do it now rather than wait until the situation becomes worse or out of control. I used to think it referred to sewing and meant to stitch up a small hole in something instead of waiting until the hole got bigger. The meaning does apply, though.

The only reason the number nine was chosen is because it rhymed with time. Many English proverbs encourage immediate effort as superior to putting things off until later; for example, ' one year's seeds, seven year's weeds ', ' procrastination is the thief of time '.
