J'ai adoré ce cours de punch needle. Tout était complet et j'ai pu apprendre des techniques variées pour réaliser ma peluche à la main. Grâce à Carolina Bello, je me sens désormais suffisamment autonome pour réaliser n'importe quelle peluche dans cette pratique. Je vous le recommande donc sans hésiter.
