The mysterious word “handmade” is used to denote handmade work, which has been highly valued at all times. Our grandmothers’ reference book was “Household Economics.” Almost each of them knew how to sew, embroider, weave intricate lace, and did this partly in order to decorate their home and provide their loved ones with the necessary things, and partly for their own pleasure. Nowadays, the art of decorating a home is experiencing a rebirth, old techniques are being revived, new ones are being formed, and more and more people are becoming familiar with this interesting and varied craft. We invite you, dear reader, to join their ranks, and we hope that our book will help you with this.
