Shirt

Female prisoners made everyday textiles and clothing for prisons, the army and hospitals. This baby shirt is a model from the sewing room of the Hämeenlinna central and county prison. The shirt was made as a model for the Kätilöopisto Maternity Hospital or the maternity package in the 1960s or 1970s. A piece of fabric has been hand-stitched on the front shirt with the text “vauvan nuttu” (“baby shirt”).
