While going through Awful Library Books for some light relief from having realised that the cats have destroyed most of our carefully saved Christmas wrapping paper, I found the following picture...
in MacKay D and Jennings K 2010 Alchemy Arts - Recycling is Chic
The relevant bit being "Intrigued to learn about 'Raven Mary' while making a new dress from an old silk petticoat?" Well, tbh, the answer is yes, totally, take my damn money! I'm now looking for a copy so I can also repurpose playing cards into a top hat and artfully wrap a net curtain around my bum.
The authors were based in Edinburgh but so far nobody I've asked knows who "Raven Mary" is. Ideas? A link to an exhaustive scholarly analysis and bibliography would be nice.
EDIT: copy should be arriving shortly!
