Stories

Throughout Fashioning Our World, we will be exploring the Fashion Collection at The Salisbury Museum to uncover items that tell stories of sustainability.

These include garments that have been repaired, re-worn or refashioned such as a military greatcoat made from a blanket, heavily worn with visible repairs including to a large rip on the back, a child’s red jacket made from her father’s military tunic and the recycled fabric from a muff and a man’s waistcoat from the 1700s that has been remade into a women’s bodice front in the 1800s.

The team of young people and volunteers taking part in the project will be sharing those stories here through articles, photos, artwork and film clips.
