The museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing Ukrainian folk art. The shirt is from the Poltava region, which is the same region as the merezhka that I wrote about in &#8220;Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska&#8221;. This shirt does not feature any merezhka poltavska, but other but embroidery.<\/p>\n<p>I then received a comment on the Facebook post from one of the page&#8217;s fans, Tetyana. She posted a link to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tatyana.chernaya.3\/media_set?set=a.890880380949171.1073741835.100000816523736&#038;type=3\" target=\"_blank\">album of photos<\/a> of a display of Ukrainian shirts in Kiev. What a treasure trove! There are many, many beautiful photos in the album. Thanks so much for posting the link, Tetyana, and sharing these amazing shirts with us!<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be a growing movement to wear traditional shirts again in Ukraine. I went to a fashion parade of Ukrainian clothing here in Sydney last year, and the lady whose collection it was said that when she first started going back to Ukraine many years ago, she would wear her shirts, but that no-one else did. It seems that this is changing and that now, more people are proudly wearing their cultural embroidery. This is something I wholeheartedly support! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Facebook told me that I hadn&#8217;t posted anything to my Vetty Creations Facebook page in a whole FIVE DAYS.
