The embroi­dery was made by hand and then hand sewn to the hand­made linen gar­ment. The gown and cap are lined with silk charmeuse. The lace used along the hem is from France. This design will improve and change over time.I plan to start...

Handmade High End Designer Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Coat Jacket & Leather with Plaid Tartan Skirts Dresses with Ukrainian hand embroidered couture blouses

It’s offi­cial­ly fall in North­ern Indi­ana. Our warm sum­mer nights have tran­si­tioned into crisp cool days. The leaves have lost their vibrant greens and tak­en on a myr­i­ad of amber, gold­en and crim­son hues. A few remain, cling­ing to trees, but most are blan­ket­ing the ground where they’ve fall­en, just wait­ing for an eager child to rake them into piles for jumping. And right down the street, in a shop...

EASTER Ukrainian embroidered burdastyle anagrassia dress 26

Every year I chose my East­er dress pat­tern and embroi­dery at the begin­ning of Lent. I then work on it and any oth­er spir­i­tu­al goals I may have until the big day arrives. I am joined by my entire fam­i­ly who tries to take advan­tage of this sea­son­al oppor­tu­ni­ty. It is often a chore, espe­cial­ly when the weath­er is so drea­ry. But prayer­ful per­sis­tence is reward­ed with a col­or­ful riot...
