Bring your favorite piece of clothing, made on non-stretchy fabric that you don't wear anymore. You can bring your own design that you want to embroider, you can improvise with a drawing on spot or you can use some of the designs offered by us.

You can also just bring yourself if you are into discovering the art of hand embroidery and we will provide you with all the necessary materials and variety of embroidery designs for you to choose.
