  3. I had a love affair with sashiko and twisted it little for my needs (you may have seen it).

    Do you know this site? It is a gallery in New York and shows traditional Japanese textiles: http://threads.srithreads.com

  7. Wat een mooie post, zou zo in het boek willen duiken. Heb gisteren nog aan jou gedacht op de boekenbeurs; bij Lannoo stonden 2 mooie boeken over historisch textiel. Beetje prijzig. Misschien binnenkort wel op te vragen in een bibliotheek.
