More stuff on the tailor's shop research
I am hunting down research images on the Tailor's shop idea, and finding squat for the most part... meaning I'm finding stuff I already had found before for the most part. But I did find this link on "Tailors, Seamstresses, & Sewing Tools". Really covers a broad range of time periods from medieval to Jacobian. Most of my time period stuff (pretty much anything 16th century) I had already found on my own... for the most part.
The above linked to some interesting images I hadn't seen before, including this one of a needlecase from the Museum of London. I want it as a reproduction, no cord necessary as I can twist up my own. Anyone know of a metalworker that could or already does make it? I've found a similar repro, on Pewter Replica's site. This one is 15th century, and is nicer looking, so I may buy it.
hsifeng, you will want to look at the bottom of the links page, as there is a list of German tailors (17th century it notes) that should interest you. I had found a few of the images myself already, but this lists a lot more of them, too many for me to link to here.
"Additional early 17th century tailors in the Mendel and Landauer Hausbuchen: Veit Schober, 1604; Georg Widerbauer, 1607; Hanns Heinla, 1610; Wolf May, 1611; Wolf Hirn, 1612; Bartl Harder, 1613; Wolff Rauscher, 1629; Hanns Albrecht, 1632; Hanß Heffner, 1634"
I did find the following of interest showing more than just a man working.

- Hanns Heinla, 1610 (I want that table in the background to hold stuff while I work.)
- Bartl Harder 1613 (I am wondering how the cute little black dress or cape is being held up on the wall)
- Wolff Rauscher (is he sewing fashion/doll clothes? They are so tiny on the wall)
