Toronto Textile Museum Visit

I was in Toronto recently, and found time to make a quick visit to the Textile Museum, a favourite of mine. It is a small museum, so you can see all the exhibits in an efficient manner and also visit their reuse area where they sell donated fabrics, patterns, books etc. even if you only have a short time to make a stop. 

There were some items from their archives on display, and an exhibit called From Cloth to Code, which included some digital responses to traditional fabrics, some traditional pieces made non-traditionally, and some looking at queer fashion in the Philippines, just as a few examples. There were more items as well, it was really interesting. I'll just share a few highlights below. 

I came around a dim corner and saw this -- total jump scare!  

A lovely small sorochka from the archives of the Museum, which I hadn't seen before.

Also want to share a short video of the audiovisual part of the exhibit. I thought this was really effective! 

I also picked up a small piece of fabric and some great patterns from the Reuse centre! Lots of inspiration on this visit.
