MAKING EMBROIDERED PILLOWS FROM HUIPILES PART 2

I made some more huipiles embroidered pillows from the vintage huipiles I was gifted. I think these are also super pretty, and they are completely one of a kind. Here's the video of my process and thoughts I had while making them.

HANDMADE PILLOWS FROM VINTAGE EMBROIDERED HUIPILES

I was gifted a number of vintage huipiles that were brought back from Guatemala. They were incredibly beautiful and were covered with hand embroidery. They were very old so some parts of them were very worn out. So I decided to "upcycle" them and piece together the most fantastic parts of embroidery to make a pillow.
