käsinompelu
Käsinompelu refers to the act of sewing by hand, using a needle and thread to join pieces of fabric or other materials. It is one of the oldest forms of textile manipulation, predating the invention of the sewing machine by millennia. Historically, käsinompelu was essential for creating clothing, household textiles, and decorative items.
The process involves various stitches, each with specific functions. Common hand stitches include the running stitch
While the advent of sewing machines has mechanized much of garment production, käsinompelu remains relevant today.
