Here is my good friend Julia of
Basya Berkman Vintage. She usually is behind the camera photographing her models, but this time, I took the camera and photographed her in this great Seminole skirt. As an anthropology major way back when who long ago became a quilter and then much more recently took on vintage clothing, mending this skirt was a real treat!
This is a patchwork style created and stitched by the Seminole Indians of Florida. After the sewing machine and cotton fabrics were introduced to the Seminoles in the late 1800s, they developed their own patchwork technique by the 1920s.
