Body Linens

These pictures show a selection of my work from the past twenty years. As far as possible I have only featured individuals who have given their informed consent; if you appear here and would rather not, please contact me to have the picture removed.

‘Body linens’ were a separate branch of needlework, but plain underwear isn't very photogenic! A selection of the decorative seams and details copied from 16th– and 17th–century shirts.
