Different ways to decorate

A gift from a dear friend made with kogin.,a name of the seam she used.

In Sweden we call it "vävsöm"

Vävsöm /kogin in embroidery seems to have  types of patterns you also can find on fabrics made in a loom

Often in Sweden you find they have been using wool thread on embroideries.In Japan it seems to be more often done with cotton threads



This little "purse" for small sewing items is made of  cotton fabrics,applications and a type of lace.wonderful ,perfect work made with love.As you can understand these 2 friends are doing the most wonderful things and we also have a lot to learn from each other and to be inspired of.
I'm going to do blocks with applications during April,for example blocks for a birthday gift.
"Vävsöm" I'm going to do later this spring/summer.

First of all I had to do a little heart in weaving seam/kogin,a heart filled with love to my friends.Thank you so so much.
