We went to a Russian Folk show in St. Petersburg. As soon as the first man in a peasant shirt came on stage, I started thinking that I would love to sew something like that and that Stephen would probably be willing to wear it. Then my sister poked me and told me that I should make one for Stephen...and being a very obedient sister, I spent much of the rest of the show trying to figure out how they made the shirts (opening at left side of neck, loose fitting with extra fabric pulled in at the waist.) The first 2 pictures here were taken through a store window in Moscow, hence the horrible reflection. the rest are from the folk show. The double headed eagle is the symbol of Russia.
