“Applique”- a embroidery technique in which fabric patches are layered on a foundation fabric, then stichehed in place by hand under or covered with decorative stitching.

Certainly human beings have been sewing one piece of fabric over another for a decorative effect for a very long time. 

One of the places where appliqué has an age-old history in India, and in particular, the western coastal state of Gujarat.

One such native community is the Rabari , a population of semi-nomadic camel herders. Although many Rabari have integrated into modern society, the women of this community are still recognized for their needle skills , especially appliqué (known as katab) , which is often combined with patchwork, embroidery, beadwork, and mirror-work. Traditionally and still today, the women have made dowry items, quilts , tent canopies , animal covers, door hangings, and the like by recycling waste fabrics from local tailors and garment manufactures.
