Testimonial from someone who followed an online course:
The online course is just perfect for me. I like to watch the video material again and again. Together with the written lessons I can understand every step. I really appreciate being able to work in my own pace. Now the embroidery is finished and I plan to make the brooch next week. As you can see the first project isn’t perfect. It was quite a challenge to embroider the sequins in between the silk embroidery. When the brooch is finished I will finish the last module. And then ….? Apply for the next course! Ellen
