Russian term or phrase: ряднина
From a 19th century short story describing the inside of a Gypsy tent:

В глубине, подле телеги, была вырыта небольшая круглая ямка, над которою стоял столик, всего в четверть вышины; русая молодая хозяйка со старухой, настоящей ведьмой, сидели за этим столом, поставив ноги в ямку и кроили что-то из ряднины, если не из старого мешка.

Thanks in advance.
