Seamstress – Pockets Collection No. 5 – Vintage Object Assemblage Artwork

This seamstress has a full afternoon’s sewing and mending ahead of her, from darning some stocking, to taking up her favourite skirt and adding a brighter buckle to her well-worn belt. There is a busy afternoon ahead of her but, with the wireless on, a fresh cup of tea and pockets full of all the bits she needs, she’s rather looking forward to it.
