Shisha Embroidery Video with Erica Wilson

It is well worth your time to take a look at this video with the remarkable Erica Wilson. I am going to estimate this circa 1970s. Her explanation is very good with large stitches so you know exactly how to stitch the shisha. Also, notice her alternative suggestions for shisha mirrors!



Good luck stitching the Shisha!
