Recycled Huipil Scrap Sampler Bag
Description
Note: Photos are examples of past scrap samplers I've made and sold. Your bag will not necessarily include the same fabrics as in the photos.If you would enjoy injecting a bit of Guatemala into your arts and crafts, this is for you! In each bag, you will receive 35+ pieces of scraps: some square and some rectangular (and some a little oddly-shaped!), some large (8-10" long) and some small (2-3" long). There will be a minimum of 10 different huipiles represented in each sampler. The smallest pieces will still be big enough to cut a couple squares out of, to add as decorations to your project. You may also receive scraps of handwoven aprons or cortes (skirts).
In addition, each bag includes a worry doll.
Please see my crafts blog, huipil-crafts.blogspot.com, under the "Fun With Scraps" section, for projects you can make using these scraps, like mosaics, scrapbook pages, and greeting cards. You could also applique pieces onto fabric.
A huipil is the traditional blouse worn by Guatemalan women; it is hand-woven on a backstrap loom and is a work of art on its own. Designs vary by village, and some feature Mayan symbols and geometric shapes, while others have more European influences like flowers. I love to buy used huipiles and make things from them!
