My journey to Ethiopian culture
Lately I’ve been working with dolls; making my own and sewing clothes for the ones you can buy in stores. I had mixed results with both endeavors, but I think I’m finally getting the hang of it.
Of course, my focus is on Ethiopian clothes. The problem is that unless you live in Ethiopia, there is no much access to detailed images of traditional or modern Ethiopian clothes. For example I haven’t been able to find a book, and much less patterns, that have detail descriptions and pictures of costumes. The only book I have is “ Ethiopian Costumes ” published by the Ethiopian Tourism Commission in 1980 (quite a while ago) with very little information.
