A course by Theresa Wensing
Theresa Wensing is a Cologne-based embroidery artist.
She studied media and cultural studies and works full-time as a project manager. Embroidery came into her life as a lockdown hobby: she wanted to use the time inside to do something productive and not scroll through her phone all day. Since then, embroidery has developed into Theresa's creative outlet, which helps her to meditatively escape from the hectic, completely digitized everyday life.
Today she produces her own digital designs which she sells through her Etsy shop and already has over 100,000 followers on Instagram where she shares her embroidery projects and patterns.

PlusJ'ai adoré suivre ce cours ! Tout est très bien expliqué, même pour une débutante comme moi.
Les instructions sont claires et motivantes, ce qui m'a donné envie de continuer à progresser.

Merci pour ce cours inspirant et bien structuré !

El curso en general es bueno, la profesora ofrece información que te encamina a hacer tu diseño y llevarlo a cabo, el gran problema que encontré: la traducción a español no es mala, es malísima.
Tuve que detener varias veces para descifrar lo que intentaba decir y eso me ha desmotivado para terminarlo, tomaré ratos de paciencia para continuarlo y terminar.

Fue una forma entretenida de empezar un nuevo estilo de bordado y de ayudarme en un nuevo proyecto. Las explicaciones sin embargo eran muy simples, y quizás la traducción al español en los subtítulos no estaban del todo bien, porque hubieron ciertas cosas que no entendía.
Probablemente de aquí en adelante sólo compraré cursos en español, ya he tenido problemas con cursos en otros idiomas.
Fue un curso muy simple, para un principiante podría servir, para mi se quedó algo corto.
