EMBROIDERY KIT
Description
This kit includes the instructions to complete this Whitework with colour project - Thandiswa as shown on the front cover. The Xhosa are an ethnic tribe in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The elaborate head dress includes beadwork and ornamentation that depicts the different stages of a woman’s life. All Xhosa names have a meaning: Thandiswa means "She is in love". This pattern is adapted from the original project in my book Whitework with Colour.
