How fantastic! Thank you.
The culture I would like to see represented is one that is overlooked, misrepresented and misunderstood. It is the Appalachian Mountain culture of the eastern U.S. This culture leans heavily on the Scots-Irish ancestry but is a unique mix of heritage. The language, however, is said to be the same as that spoken by English aristocracy in the 17th-18th centuries. Also in the Appalachian culture is the Malungeons. This group has a mixed heritage said to be scots-irish, Native American, Spanish, African American and Middle Eastern. At one point in history they were known as “white people of color”. These are little known facts but have been extensively researched by some from this region. I wouldn’t know where to start with a pattern. Things that mark the region are mountain music, moonshining and coal mining. The only distinctive clothing that I know are the bibed overalls. I think a hiking outfit with bibed overalls hiking the Appalachian Trail would be a way to honor the culture.
A favorite cultural tradition I take part in or find interesting is Irish dancing. I love it and would love to have the traditional dress to put on my dolls!
A cultural pattern would like to see offered at Pixie Faire would be the Indian Sari. I love the bright colors and rich fabrics and would love to see jewelry to match.
“A FAVORITE CULTURAL TRADITION I FIND INTERESTING is African dresses and headwear.
