This story on traditional handmade Polish lace caught my eye.

"Artisans who used to create gowns and altar cloths for customers such as the late Pope now craft G-strings and other lingerie for sale all over the world.

They say the underwear is quicker to make and easier to sell than traditional goods such as tablecloths. "


I'm sorry to see the traditional demand is down, but glad to know they can find a modern market rather than let the craft die.
