Reviews

"Artfully Embroidered embraces the current enthusiasm for contemporary hand-stitching techniques and combines this with making unusual and unique bags and purses.... Given the variety of bags and looks, it would be easy to find something to suit your own personal style. Add the good number of stitches to practice, it's a great way of finding something new to try and feed your inner Vintage Diva!" --Workshop on the Web
