I recently completed this course and I am very happy that I purchased it. Ana María provided clear, step-by-step instructions on crafting beautiful embroidered elements. It opened up so many possibilities for me to customize and breathe new life into the old or plain clothes I have. If you're passionate about fashion design and enjoy working with your hands, I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn or enhance their garment customization skills.
