EMBROIDERY
Development of Philippine
Embroidery
Embroidery is the ornamentation of textiles and
other materials with needlework for personal use
and decoration not only at home but for offices as
well.

The term embroidery is an English word derived

from the old French embroiders meaning edge and
border.
Embroidery was introduced into the Orient by
the Netherlands in the 15th century.

It was brought by the Spaniards into the

Philippines where it has made a wonderful
growth, and work done it rivals the best work
done in Switzerland, a country noted of
exquisite embroidery.
- Embroidery reached its highest development during the
middle ages.
- The nuns in the convents were the first to make articles
with embroidery work during their leisure time.
- Since then, it became so popular that women started to
enjoy it, creating designs of their own.
In the beginning, embroideries were done by hand. But
since the advent of technology and the invention of sewing
machine, people are now engaged in the machine
embroidery.
