At the beginning, nothing was clear, but it was interesting. A year ago, I tried to learn embroidery on my own and failed, eventually deciding it wasn’t for me.
I started this course feeling sceptical because of that experience and without much enthusiasm. But during the process, something opened up. I began to succeed, tried working with new materials — beads, sequins, bugle beads — and now I want to keep embroidering more and more.
At the beginning, I struggled because I tried to control everything and rushed the process. Through the explanations, I understood that this approach was actually holding me back.
The way the technique was explained helped me slow down, relax, and work more consciously. This changed how I approached learning and made the process feel much more manageable and engaging.
What stood out to me most was how clearly everything was explained. The structure of the course made even a complex technique feel understandable. I realised that in-person teaching wasn’t necessary because the explanations were so precise and well thought out.
This clarity gave me confidence to continue practising independently, knowing exactly what to focus on and why certain steps matter.
Before taking the course, I spent a long time trying to teach myself. I watched materials, experimented on my own, and wasted a lot of time and expensive supplies without really understanding what I was doing.
Working with Ksenia gave me clarity and structure. The explanations helped me understand the fundamentals properly instead of guessing. Looking back, I only wish I had found this guidance earlier — it would have saved me a lot of frustration and unnecessary expense.
