The Bayeux Tapestry: secrets of the stitchers

Jeg startede ordnot i 2013 og vi laver cykeltøj. Det bedste ved Shopify er for mig, at vi kan drive virksomheden, selvom vi egentlig ikke har nogen teknisk baggrund. Vi kan administrere alt fra backend til frontend og sælge ting online helt nemt. Hvis Shopify var cykeludstyr, tror jeg faktisk, det vil være selve cyklen. Det er kernen i det hele.

One of the many unanswered questions about the tapestry is how long it took to make. We assume it was stitched by English women quite soon after the events it depicts, the Norman conquest of 1066, but we can't say for certain.

Mia Hansen has been stitching a full-size replica for a decade now, and her experience can help us understand how the original embroidery was actually made. In this episode of the History Extra podcast, David Musgrove caught up with Mia to find out what we can learn from her years of close attention to the tapestry. So today I am really pleased to be joined by Mia Hanson, somebody I've been wanting to speak to for a while because she has been engaged in an amazing project making a replica bear tapestry all on her own for some years and she's written a book all about it, Embroider the Bear Tapestry, which we will talk about as well. So Mia, tell me about your sort of story with the tapestry. When did you decide?
