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.
