In touch with the past

[elessa]

The last two days I have been sewing a kamiz/underdress/chemise out of a lightweight white linen. I have been in a state of wonderment as i have been working with this simple fabric made from flax fibers.

It is a textile which has been found in excavations in turkey at Çatalhöyük, samples of which have been dated to over ten thousand years ago

Some things are still around simply because they continue to work.

Good luck with the chemise!
