11. EMBROIDERY IN MY FAMILY
 For me, the embroidery is part of a national culture, a Ukrainian tradition, a story, a
family relic and a family relic. I wear vyshyvanka in special cases - at family and state
holidays.
 My family wears a shirt embroidered by my grandmother. I really appreciate her work
and she teaches me to embroider also.
 In the wardrobe, I also have two modern embroidered embroidery, one embroidered
dress and Carpathian camisole. I dress them for holidays, religious or national, I like
to combine with modern elements. I have a real weakness in the quality of Ukrainian
folk decorations made by renowned craftsmen; they are inexpensive, because they
are often made of universally accessible materials - wood, thread, beads, copper
coins, but beautiful in their authenticity, Ukrainian mystery and history. "

12. EMBROIDERY IN MY LIFE
 For me, embroidery is really a genetic code. For this traditional dress has taken over all the
symbolism of sewing, which for Ukrainians is sacred. I like embroidered clothes, I keep track of
masters, I note the new fashion trends in wearing it. However, if such clothes are not
individual, then he loses his reign for me, because when it's done for you personally, then you
feel it as a special thing as a guard. I believe things are energy-endowed, and colors and
patterns can have a meaning. Embroidery is not without reason a precious thing, it is in
sewing that you can put all your love and such things can protect your own people.
