Embroiderers

Sarajevan embroidery is known by far. Various elements of clothes were embroidered, and later completed by a tailor (terzija). Woman embroiderers worked at home and did not have their own workshops. Merely with arrival of Austria-Hungarians, the National Government opened embroidery workshops. Today, tablecloths, napkins, cushions, articles of clothing and other items are embroidered in the workshops.
