Textile handicraft has been a way for women to expand her thoughts and everyday life, to daydream, to reflect on events and news of the world, and to express herself, and to share knowledge with other women. As the exterior was reserved for men to build and design, textile handycraft can be seen as the womens constructions and even the womens architecture.
