With knowledge passed down from the women of Kalotaszeg, Transylvania, Romania, join me for my next online workshop in #nagyírásos on July 1. Learn the culture, history, and technique of this style of Hungarian embroidery that dates back to the 1700s.
I have deep gratitude for the women who write patterns and stitch, and the surrounding community who supports their work.
Link in bio to register.

Winter 2023 Story Collection: The Arraiolos. Inspired by our time with @threadwritten this summer in Portugal. We were so taken by the vibrant colors of the landscape and the traditional Arraiolos rugs of the region, that it is the inspiration for our newest collection, launching on February 4th. Stay tuned for more information and release of the 4 new worsted weight colorways.

I got a carried away doing an exercise in simple stitches. Inspired by my stash of old threads and @threadwritten ‘s MakingZen bonus class.

This was an opportunity to do more stem, split, long & short and satin stitch. (Plus some French knots and chain).

“Widely held to be the most intrinsically Hungarian of clothing items, the cifraszűr gained popularity around the end of the 18th century, when successes in agriculture and sweeping new regulations governing the relationship between landlords and peasants had improved circumstances for many, allowing commoners to spend more on decorative clothing. It was this that prompted tailors specializing in the production of modest outerwear from thick felted wool to begin crafting more distinctive pieces, decorated as lavishly as the rough material would permit.⁠
⁠
As this positive turn in economic circumstances was felt first in the western half of the country, it is no coincidence that it was from there that the fashion for coats ‘fancied up’ [or ‘tcifrált,’ hence the ‘cifra’ in cifraszűr] with felt appliqué and decorative stitching first spread.” - Néprajzi Múzeum⁠

Embroidery on an 1870 Hungarian szűr from Bihar, Transylvania, Romania. Photo of an image in Cifraszűrök by Alice Gáborján. With the invention and then the availability of the sewing machine in Transylvania, felt appliqué became popular in the late 1800s, replacing much of the finely-detailed hand embroidery like this. Patterns come from Ottoman Turk motifs with roses, tulips, carnations, rosemary, and a swirl pattern.⁠
