Hello all, Horoden'ka is an extraordinary crossroads of embroidery styles, the influences of Podillia, Bukovyna and the Hutsul territories combine to form a rich local tapestry of embroidery styles. Today I will examine one local embroidery stitch which seems to be found nowhere else in Ukraine. Above you can see a photo of an ustawka, or shoulder inset embroidered in nyzynka, framed with herringbone stitch, attached at left to the body of the shirt with merezhyvo typical of Podillia, and then finished off on the bottom with a row of interlacing. The local name for this design is 'merezhka khvostata'. Merezhka means net, and usually refers to hemstitching, although it can also refer to other types of hand work which resemble a net. This type of interlacing embroidery is found nowhere else in Ukraine to my knowledge, but it IS found in Malta, Sind, and Armenia. The Armenians claim to have invented it, and there are historical data which show influences from Armenia to both Malta and Sind. It is well known that there were colonies of Armenians in Halychyna, to the point where they had their own Archbishop and Cathedral in L'viw. [The only city in the world ever to have had three concurrent Catholic Archbishops, Roman, that is to say Polish, Byzantine - Ukrainian, and Armenian]. So it seems clear that this technique was borrowed from the Armenians, although why here, and not elsewhere in Halychyna is not clear. Armenians call this type of interlace embroidery Marash work, after its historical city of origin, or Heusvadz Gar. In Horoden'ka, this type of embroidery is only used as an adjunct stitch on women's chemises, in a band just below the shoulder inset, taking the place of morshchynka in the second part of the sleeve design. Typically, there is no embroidery on the lower sleeve.The embroidery on the ustawka may be nyzynka, cross stitch, or in another technique. In fact, only three designs are used, all of which are variants of a single motif. 'Cross', which may 'be seen in the second and third images above, 'tailed', which is the cross with one arm missing, which can be seen at the top of the article and just above, and 'slanted', in which two opposite arms of the cross are missing, and the motifs are stacked so as to give a diagonal design, as in the following two photographs. In all of these, each succeeding motif is executed in a different color. Here are the three designs side by side. This paucity of design is another indication that this is a borrowed technique. However, they undoubtedly enrich the chemises of Horoden'ka, and are used in a unique way. For comparison, here is a piece of Armenian embroidery completely executed in Interlace stitch. You can see that although the Ukrainians may have borrowed the technique, they reinterpreted and adapted it to their own tastes rather than just copying the Armenian embroidery. This type of work is executed in two parts, first a lattice is laid down, and then the embroidery thread is twined around the lattice without ever piercing the ground fabric except at beginning and end. You can see the lattices laid out for the three motifs above. Here is a schematic of a completed cross.The cross is always executed in one color. Here the two parts have been colored differently so as to make it easier to understand the technique. The Armenians and Maltese use the cross like this, in Horoden'ka, the cross is worked on the diagonal, as seen above. When laying down the lattice, it is very important that the lattice threads cross above and below one another alternately. Here is a closeup of the lattice. Here is a step by step diagram of how to embroider the cross. The Armenians mark the cross on the material first. Ukrainians do not do this, instead laying the lattice in a counted thread technique. I present the diagram on the diagonal, as done by Ukrainians. This can be easily adapted to the other two designs. It is this type of added detail which adds richness of texture to the traditional embroideries of Ukraine. Modern adaptations which turn everything into cross stitch loses a dimension, becoming flat. I hope that you have found this interesting and inspiring. Obviously this technique can be used to decorate many things. I will close with a couple more images of this embroidery. I am indebted to Vasyl Jula for many of the large closeup images used in this article. Many of the rest of the images are from the work of Iryna Svyontek, which I highly recommend. Feel free to contact me with requests for research. I hope to eventually cover all of Europe and the Former Russian Empire/Soviet Union. I also gratefully accept tips on source materials which i may not have. I also accept commissions to research/design, sew, and/or embroider costumes or other items for groups or individuals. I also choreograph and teach folk dance.

Unity in Diversity is the adage that has been going around my mind while I am penning this post. An apt slogan for the people of India ,( after all , we have different cultures and religion all living together in this country for centuries ), I think it applies to Indian Embroidery too ! Look at the vast variety of styles and stitches that Traditional Indian Embroidery has to offer . For years when I have been teaching the subject of textiles to students , I have , with a sense of pride for this wonderful heritage , taught the techniques of Indian Embroidery to my students . trying to develop a passion for Indian textile traditions in them . And currently working on a project I am compelled to write about this beautiful work of art . Each region of India has it`s own textile tradition and the embroideries depicted in each style is a sum of local surroundings as well as influence of different rulers , cultures and eras . From vibrant and flamboyant , to chic and subtle , Indian Embroidery leaves its mark on every textile enthusiast . Kutchwork or Kutchi bharat as it is called in Gujarati comes from the Western region of India . Also known as Sindhi stitch , this beautiful technique is geometric in form . The stitches are worked by laying a foundation framework of herringbone stitch or cretan stitch. In the second part , this framework is filled with interlacing to completely fill the framed area . And combination of perfect framework and interlacing only , can produce the perfect motif. A unique thing about this stitch is that you never know how it will look till it is completed and the final product is a wonderful surprise to the embroiderer. A part of the wedding trousseau young girls are taught this craft as soon as they are able to hold the needle and they graduate from simple to complex designs as they learn this art from their elders. It is said that this technique originated in far away land of Armenia and found its way to Gujarat by travelling Nomads. Sindhi stitch or Maltese cross stitch is also similar but the innovation of the Kutchi women have taken it beyond the traditional designs. Here are some of the designs I have embroidered . Though the varirty of motifs is vast , the basic pattern remains more or less the same. It is only an arrangement and repeat of the basic pattern that can create a variety of motifs in every shape and size! Basic patterns around which the embroidery is based are : single square four corner square or chokdi big square or moti chokdi round or ladvo triangle or trikon line simple edge or sadi kangri double edge or kor ( the names marked in green are the gujarati names for the patterns } Th ability to create innumerable designs lies only in the imagition and skill of the embroiderer . Do write to how you find this article . Till next time then , Motidana.

We are going to do the basic diamond in kutch work. Fix the fabric in the embroidery frame. Thread the needle. STEP 1 - OUTLINING Points to remember 1. Always keep the thread under the needle while outlining the basic diamond. 2. Rotate the frame during each step to make outline stitching more comfortable. Bring up the needle at 1. Insert at 2 and bring it up at 3. While outlining the basic diamond, always keep the thread under the needle, as shown in the picture. (First side is formed) Notice that I rotated the frame before doing the next step. Hold the frame and needle in such a manner that the needle eye is pointing towards you. Insert at 4 and bring it up at 5, again keeping the thread under the needle. (Second side of the motif) Insert the needle at 6 and bring it up at 7. (The frame is rotated and needle under the thread) (Third side of the motif is formed) Insert the needle at 8 and pull it down. The outline is formed now. STEP 2 - INTERLACING Points to remember 1. The thread always moves in a 'U' pattern. 2. Interlacing is done in an OVER-UNDER-OVER-UNDER manner. 3. Unless at the beginning and end, never pierce the fabric. 4. Do not tighten the interlacing thread too much. Now the weaving or interlacing begins. Bring up the needle at the outer corner of the first intersection. While interlacing, the thread always moves in a 'U' manner. If you keep this point in mind, you can easily determine where the thread is to be passed in the next step. The working thread is taken OVER the underlying thread. Pass the needle under the thread (ie; 1-2). Care should be taken not to pluck the fabric. First was OVER the thread. Here it is UNDER the thread. Keep in mind that interlacing is done as OVER-UNDER-OVER-UNDER. While interlacing... you can simply sing it. Again OVER(5-6) and UNDER 7. Notice that every time the frame is rotated. You are going to do this repeatedly while doing the kutchwork. OVER 6 and UNDER (7-8) UNDER 5 OVER 4 and under (5-6) UNDER 3 OVER 2 and UNDER (3-4) You can see two threads inside the outline now. Take care. At this point, we can't bypass it without weaving. So pass the needle UNDER as shown in the picture. OVER (8-7) thread. When you become more familiar with the technique, you can do the last two steps as a single one as shown in the above picture. ie; UNDER (3-4), OVER the first interlacing thread and UNDER the second interlacing thread. Now UNDER 1 and pull the needle up. Insert the needle down at the point, where you began interlacing. Interlacing is over. Basic diamond is formed. Backside of the work. During interlacing, we never insert the needle anywhere into the fabric, except in the beginning and the end. (both are at same point) We did a comparitively bigger motif. when you are thorough with the outlining and interlacing, try the same on smaller motifs. Then, no need of drawing the outward extension of each side. you may draw just single squares. The picture below shows working on a smaller basic motif. Do few basic motifs with the help of this tutorial. Then make it thorough with practicing more and more before moving on to the next session the 5 diamond motif. If you are thorough with this session, I hope that will be so simple for you.... Happy Kutchworking.....

We learnt lesson 1, lesson 2 and lesson 3, basic kutch work. So lets try small motif as shown below. Kutch basic motif Draw motif as above picture. Start base stitch at point 1. Follow picture and observe numbering, proceed with base stitch. Observe below picture, needle goes under the base thread. Observe below picture, firstly needle goes under the base thread and secondly needle goes over the base thread. Pay attention while ending base stitch, needle goes under the base thread at point 1. single motif base stitch Lets start with filling, as usual start just below point 1 and needle goes under the base stitch. Its transition time, pay attention, from first left diamond needle passes through middle diamond and travels to upper diamond. Follow the path correctly (Numbering helps , which path to follow). While finishing upper diamond, observe first needle goes under base stitch ( purple thread) then over filling thread (red thread) and then below red thread and again over purple thread. Again needle goes below purple thread ( base stitch), then over red thread (filling thread). Proceed in same procedure for rest of the diamond. Observe center diamond and needle positioning. Single motif Kutch work Here is finished single motif, observe each diamond filling for its correctness by applying golden rule.
