The art of making patterns through a needle and thread

Everything can now be easily replicated with the help of  modern technology. Technology has become an easy way of getting things done faster, but this does not always guarantee that it will still hold the same value. People say one of the best things about technology is that it helps us do previously time consuming tasks for a fraction of the original price, but this doesn’t always make it a great thing.

Let's think of a detailed pattern that is embroidered on fabric by hand. A hand stitched embroidery costs more than machine done ones, simply because of the manual labour that goes into making that art that is a skill of handling a needle and thread. A small entrepreneur with over 30 years of weaving this art by their hands will not only create a piece of embroidery, but they will make it with dedication and passion. So next time, try taking back some handmade embroidery back home as a souvenir instead of machine stitched ones. You will not only take a piece of art that was done out of passion, but also help support a local small business.
