FolkCostumeEmbroidery: Kjolsäcken, Loose Pockets of Leksand, Dalarna, Sweden these are of great interest to me....similar to "girdle books or prayer books" for medieval style book pockets for the wealthy since books were so rare
Costume and Embroidery of Leksand, Dalarna, Sweden
Leksand Dalarna Sweden - Sometimes in colder weather, bodices made from leather are worn. These are made with the same kind of chamois leather as is used for the men's breeches. They are also sometimes embroidered in the same way, in which case they are called laskat. They hook closed so as to be warmer.
Stitch Play: Casalguidi Stitch - or Really Raised Stem Stitch!
3D embroidery on canvas; make a design with rope and cover with embroidery thread--could make letters or a monogram. Awesome affect!!
