All In A Line

This apron is obviously Serbian from the elaborate cross stitch design. You find similar design in Ukrainian and Romanian dress. The second photo shows the whole line of dress.

Sneek A Bet

This is a stitchalong I am SO FAR behind on. But I like the new material I'm working on, and I think I've made some progress. That's more than nothing.

Ottoman Type Clothing

Wedding clothing worn by the Turkish community. You can still see this kind of clothing in shop windows for special events.


Veshje Kombetare




In December I visited this NGO in Dragash. I will be seeing them again. They work with women injured in the war and provide a way for them to "earn" their pensions, so the families don't feel helpless. This NGO specializes in textile projects. They have a lot of beautiful stuff.

Stitchy Box Grab Bags

I bought two small grab bags from Stitchy Box. This is what I got.


Serbian Everyday

Several ethnicities are represented in the Mitrovica museum. These outfits are from the early 20th century Serbian community. You can tell there is more Western European influence on them.
