Textile Arts Multicultural Traditions

Description

Enhance your textiles--whether embroidery, applique, tie-dye, or batik--with unique internationally inspired projects. Shisha mirrorwork from India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan features beautiful star motifs and random crosses. Cotton cloths from Nigeria and Sierra Leone combine tie-dye and stitch resist. Try decorative techniques such as pleating, rouleaux, and ruching, reminiscent of 19th-century European and Asian dress.
