Seminole patchwork

Seminole patchwork, referred to by Seminole and Miccosukee women as Taweekaache (design in the Mikasuki language),[1] is a patchwork style made from piecing colorful strips of fabric in horizontal bands.[2] Seminole patchwork garments are often trimmed with a rickrack border. Early examples of this technique are known from photographs in the 1910s, and its use by Seminole women in garment construction began to flourish in the 1920s.[3] Seminole patchwork has historically been an important source of income for many Seminole women, and today remains a source of cultural pride.[3] Fashion designers, including Donna Karan, have been criticized for their appropriation of this patchwork style.[4]
