The Saami, from what I have heard did weave (yes, weave, not sew) baskets that could hold water. Although it is possible to find good, sewable birch-bark in Scandinavia, the bark is mostly a little too thin and brittle to be good. Probably due to the relatively mild climate.
Especially at lower elevations, knowing how to weave this way would greatly increase available materials for cooking pots and similar.
Have anyone heard of this or is this a lost skill?
