Beds and bedding have a textile tradition all their own, and this Finnish book focuses on the handwoven, old fashioned variant - and how to sew new, fresh ones yourself. Broad cotton laces and linens in natural colors complement the colorful stripes-and-checks bedding patterns offered here. The patterns are inspired by Finnish womens’ folk art, and after leafing through the book you’ll wonder why you never made your own duvet covers and pillowcases! An inspiration for interior designers and textile artists. This book focuses on Österbotten, the Swedish speaking coastal/western part of Finland.
