  • Tambour embroidery demonstration at a larger scale, using a crochet hook and pony beads instead of my usual Size 11 seed beads and tambour hook. If you'd like to learn Tambour, check out the 'learn tambour embroidery' videos on my channel!

      It's not another hobby, it's the next iteration of sewing / crocheting / embroidery, and the perfect way to use up all those beads left over from the kids' jewelry-making phase. That's my excuse.

    This is so awesome! I learned to sew, knit and crochet from my mom when I was 6 or 7- that was almost 59 years ago! She worked in the Garment Center of NYC for 50 years and taught me so much over the years, and I eventually became a seamstress and designer doing bridal and so much more. She used to take me to all the shops where she worked and I used to see so many mind blowing gowns and dresses, and when me and my brother were little and they had a Christmas party and played music, me and my brother were dancing on the cutting tables! 😆
    The very last company she worked for was Richelue designers where they did the Miss America gowns (those gowns would blow your mind! 😳) and she worked up until she was 80 and one day she had a fainting spell and was taken to the hospital and had to get a pacemaker (funny - I had to get one almost 5 years ago), and she couldn't work anymore. For the next 7 years her health and mind went down hill, and she passed away at 87- 9 months after my dad passed away- that was 26 years ago, they were married 63 years - how I miss those days 😢😞🥀
    Oh- and I'm definitely subscribing- greetings from NYC!! 🤩🗽🤗💖🧶🪡🧵🌹

      ​@@thepricklypearsociety Thank you! My mom didn't have an easy life, she came first to Canada and then to NYC from Poland right before the war to find work, but tragically the war broke out and her parents two sisters and a brother perished in Auschwitz, which out of survivor's guilt drove her to become a workaholic and she worked until she was 80 and her health started to fail. After fainting at work she was taken to the hospital and had to have a pacemaker and had to stop working (who knew that I took would have to get one as well which August will make 5 years), but because she couldn't work anymore her mental and physical health got worse over the next 7 years and then she passed away.😢

      I kind of envy that. The culture in the US is drastically different. It would be nice if everyone got to wear beautiful things such as this without getting weird looks. For some reason creative and elaborate fashion is saved exclusively for women, though we are seeing some change in that regard.

      The Indian one is the original method before it was learnt by the French. This method of embroidery was used all over middleeast and Indian subcontinent. Am not sure why the french reversed the direction.

    I adore this kind of embroidery. It reminds me of the gowns ladies regularly wore in the 1920s and 30s. Then it went out of fashion with the Great Depression and WWII, but made a comeback in the 1950s on sweater sets, blouses and prom gowns. I'd love to see this come back into fashion; it's so feminine! But because of inflation and because this is labor intensive, I don't hold out any hope. 😢 But I will love to watch your videos on it.
