Fashion Plates of Northampton County Opening Reception
to
Sigal Museum 342 Northampton Street, Easton, Pennsylvania 18042
For over 50 years, home seamstresses in Northampton County have been gathering together to improve sewing skills, share ideas, and foster their creative flair. In the spirit of our rich textile history, two local groups – Greater Lehigh Valley Chapter of the American Sewing Guild and the Third Street Sewing Circle – have come together to exhibit their handcrafted fashions.
The exhibition will contain garments inspired by 20th century fashion, including children’s items and unique fantasy-inspired gowns, as well as patterns and drawings that reveal the makers’ process, and archival images and antique fashion plates from NCHGS’s collection.
The exhibition opens to the public on February 18, 2017 and will run through September 15, 2017.
There will be a special opening reception on February 19, 2017 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Come view the fashions and meet the makers behind the garments! $5 admission fee.
Price: $5
