Welcome to Vyshyvannya!

I wanted to share some of the things I learned while studying Ukrainian embroidery traditions. Part of my research was the traditional kind most of us are familiar with — interviews, fieldwork, reading, and so on. But there was another portion that was hands-on. For this part I embroidered a vyshyvanka, a traditional Ukrainian shirt, based on those from Sniatyn, a small village in southwestern Ukraine.
