Inspecting an heirloom Santa suit
So this week, I’m changing things up a little. I’ve made a video showing how I inspect a family heirloom textile that has been boxed and in storage.
This particular heirloom is my Grandfather’s Santa Claus suit. My supplies are a cotton drop cloth, buffered acid-free tissue paper and the boxed suit. Textiles should be refolded at least annually if not semi-annually to help remove the stress of the fold on the fibers. The tissue paper should be used to support where the folds are to help lessen the severity.
I truly hope you enjoy the demonstration and it helps you with your own textiles. For more information on how to clean and inspect heirlooms, don’t forget to request my new free resource:
