Stitching Palm leaves

Another thing that keeps my sister busy is stitching palm leaves. This is called Nipa. Nipa is another kind of palm that grows beside the river.The leaves are being removed from the stalk. After removing them, they will be filed by six and folded them. The piece of sliced bamboo has to be inserted in the folded leaves. When it is done, that is the time stitching begun. The type of stitches used is running stitch until it reaches to the other end of the bamboo. When it is already locked, then the finish product is ready for delivery.
