This is a beautiful post, this kind of work must have gone on there for centuries, designs and patterns being handed down from mother to daughter.
The wook look very good quality
Old Wom's right.
Beautiful people making beautiful things.
Those fabrics and colours are amazing, Jules. But the smiles are the best. What a contrast to the high street fashion tat we have here, made by child labour in neighbouring China.
Wonderful post. They look so happy.
We bought some costumes and I have them hanging up here - they look sensational.
