She offers very well researched tutorials on a number of period clothing (focused on 14th and 16th centuries) with detailed photos. Cathrin&#8217;s sewing skills are awe-inspiring and her background of being a tailor, combined with her creative &amp; researched approach to recreating historical dress is truly noteworthy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fellow historical dress, textile and needlework researchers that I admire: A stitch in time Katrin Kania&#8217;s blog &#8220;Togs from bogs and other dirty laundry from medieval times!&#8221; One of the best books I have ever seen\/read\/obtained\/pawed with abandon and found<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Historical Dress & textile blogs to follow #recommendations","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[32],"tags":[78],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6rja9-3e","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":438,"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200\/revisions\/438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kipar.org\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
