Palestinian Embroidery: Traditional Fallahi Cross-Stitch by Widad Kawar

Description

Watan offers a curated selection of new and used Palestinian books, ranging from works of non-fiction to prose, poetry to novels, and more. This offering is an extension of our Palestinian Women's Library (available for free use at our Orland Park location). This book shows images for the traditional Palestinian dress’ front, back, or sides. The images are so clear you could use them as a reference for projects, or as patterns. This is not, however, an embroidery pattern book (i.e. you will not see motifs on graph paper). The book is organized by city; it lists images from Ramallah, Yaffa, Hebron, Gaza, and Beersheba.
