Patchwork by Dorothy Downs
Florida Seminoles and Miccosukees have been making and wearing patchwork clothing since the early 1900s, creating many beautiful and unique patchwork designs. They also make palmetto-husk dolls, dressed in patchwork clothing. Patchwork is a way for these Native Americans to express themselves and identify with their heritage. This book combines the history of the Seminoles and Miccosukees with how they do their crafts. Learn how to make patchwork designs and a doll using colored paper and glue instead of fabric and a sewing machine with easy step-by-step instructions.
Dorothy Downs is a founder and former president of the Tribal Arts Society of the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami in Coral Gables.
