Parts of sewing process.

Material and finished decorations patch  .

This encompasses great parts of my life. First unconsciously – later more pronounced in relation to values and status in society. An archivist once he told me had been given a collection of sewing exercises from a retired sewing teacher – and was told it was nothing to keep. This upset me. I have later been able to study several other samples of this kind. I am fascinated by illustrations charts, exemplary samples – and endless fiddling work. This is the reason for mine ‹Do it your self› packages.
