Her sto­ry is quite remark­able and the lessons she taught me were even more so.  I only hope to be as strong as her and pass on her spir­it to others. Aside from her wis­dom, her love of sewing was passed on to me. My babcha was an incred­i­ble seam­stress! She was self taught and...

Hand Embroidered Ukrainian Shirts and Dresses Pub­lished 20/23/2018 Here are just a few absolute­ly stun­ning pho­tos of my sis­ter’s fam­i­ly photoshoot. Each piece was embroi­dered by my mom.

I quick­ly fin­ished my “Maid of Hon­or” dress before the wed­ding. I did­n’t have the time or ener­gy to think hard about what kind of top I should design. Instead, I free hand­ed a sim­ple bodice pat­tern for the top por­tion of the dress.
