SEWING

In the thirties, the prewar years in some Northern villages spread a girlish custom long before the wedding to give her boyfriend scarves. Embroidered pouches and shirts were usually given only to husbands. Unsuccessful or disliked gentlemen caught these scarves by force, "snatched." The famous limericks of the time were reflected even in this tiny part of national life:
 

 
"My dear one is so broken and distorted,
 
Broken for my handkerchief,
 
 He is distorted in the mirror".

What to do with this mischief?"
 

 
 Of course, it is a comic rhyme. But through it, one can judge the rapidly changing mores: barrack life in the lumber camps forcing girls to behave with rudeness and man's manners.
 
 Yes, and not very easy to find time for sewing when there is a plan for cutting and hauling, and gloves and boots break apart every now and then, and the horse took off, or lost horseshoe,  the village did not send food and in the barracks is the smoke of the yoke: men mixed with women, old and young.
 
Yet many girls found time to embroider a handkerchief and sing this ditty. Singing and crafts since ancient times complement each other in a woman's life. Exiled to the Goritskiy monastery, Xenia Godunov was famous for her handwork and singing songs when standing and working. During that time in Russia, songs accompanied the flourishing art of ecclesiastical embroidery, presented by numerous tangible pieces of evidence.
 
There are several ways of sewing; the main is satin-stitch embroidery which is parallel stitches. For this purpose were used silk and linen threads. The canvas was embroidered with simple, often double-cross, later replaced by square waffle fabric. Embroidery by Tambora used rounded ensiform stitch, and "the "hen's feet" style was pulled in line with geometric angle stitch. 

    Finally, sewing was done in the embroidery frame after removing weft threads from the tissue. Collars, sleeves, towels, scarves, jackets, pouches, and hats were usually embroidered. Occupies a unique place a gold embroidery. Exquisite embroidery in red on the black, white and dark blue background and green on the red and pink. However, everything depended on the artistic flair of embroiders.
