I have spent much time hand sewing, especially repairing quilts I've found at second hand stores. and in Taos, New Mexico, along with Dusty Roads, to restore some of the beadwork at the Kit Carson Museum on displays of moccasins, and breastplates. It was fascinating, as a beader, and a weaver, to be able to see and handle these items. As I worked, I could appreciate and understand how many people worked on an item, and what kinds of original materials, patterns, and colors were used in the past. It has always brought me such joy to connect with women ,, and men, in the past, who labored to make the world a little more beautiful. I will come to see these things one day, in person.

I love how careful the conservators always are not just in the handling of the items but in their whole nature. So very precise and delicate.

An actual dream job

I love this program and the accessibility it has given millions to see these treasures.  I repair crochet and clothing vintage and antique it is a genuine labor of love

WOW, wow, wow, I completely geeked out with that video! To be a textile conservator at one of the world's great museums is my fantasy 😍😍. A beautiful synthesis of art and science, two things I love.

Thanks for the video! Fascinating to see how talented people do their work.

Endlessly fascinating. This would be a great subject for a more in depth video.

Thank you for a fascinating insight into a world of textiles.  The dedication of all who work on these important pieces is second to none - I applaud you all

The curator at 8:20 is a natural ASMRtist.
Marvelous work.

Great video. I wish I was a textile conservationist, so fascinating.

Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this insight beautiful work by the team 😍

This is an excellent video if you ( like me ) are searching for art inspiration. I have been to the Met only a few times ( not living in NY ) and was so overwhelmed by the collections I did not take the time to spend with the incredible textile collection. Now I plan to go back and see these pieces. Thank you very much for reviving my interests and passions!

Fascinating work. What a dream job!

Dream job🥺
