FolkCostume&Embroidery: Today I will continue talking about the Hutsul region by adressing the Putyla Region, sometimes called the Vyzhnytsia Region. This lies mostly in Chernivtsi Oblast, consisting of the Putyla and Siret River valleys, and also the White Cheremosh River valley, including a few villages in the south of Ivano Frankivsk Oblast. It extends from Vyzhnytsia in the north to the Romanian border in the south.

This is such a good article that goes so in depth to the details and construction of these garments. While not from this region, my family is from Ukraine, so this is very interesting to me. I have folk garments from when I was younger, but I’ve grown out of them by now, and as someone who knows how to sew and is interested in embroidery, this article is a great place to start! The multitude of pictures of embroidery is insane, and each and every one of them are so unique and stunning. I wonder how long it takes for each garment to be embroidered. Again, I am just awed by these pieces, they also in a way remind me of those really complicated friendship bracelets I would make as a kid at camp. Seeing and reading this article has definitely inspired me, and I will be bookmarking this for the future!
Wow! That embroidery is spectacular. This year I have gotten a chance to try my hand at embroidery through my guess who dogwood tree project space and my sensing Place through color final. embroidery always takes so much longer than I expected and also looks more beautiful than I could have imagined. something about the attention to detail and knowing the amount of time that was put into it and if it's so much grander but if one were to simply hot glue it. Surprisingly enough I was able to find a lot of functionality through my embroidery. My teacher encouraged me to let go of the planning, and to just see what happened. So sure enough I threw some beads in a bag and spontaneously put them on a needle and strung them onto a shirt. Funnily enough by leaving it up to chance I created a really cool ombre pattern. By simply based on the fact that the bigger beads were easier to get out to the needle, and therefore should have more at the beginning of the process.
