Sewing technology from losquets existed in the XV century. in Italy. In each country there were similar types of needlework, because it is impossible to call the place on Earth, where they would live and happily live, and therefore many women tried to save in their farm, carefully keeping the loskutka fabric so that, if necessary, to sew something for themselves members of their family.
