Me encanta la metodología 😍
excelentemente, amei!
Sono stata felice di aver acquistato questo corso per mire la pratica di tessitura a telaio che già conosco, al macramè che trovo molto bella e affascinante. Non si finisce mai di imparare
Amando aprender sobre o universo dos fios com a Luiza. Apenas no começo mas facinada. Obrigada
Ainda não terminei o curso, mas percebi que Luiza explica tudo com calma e conseguimos fazer junto com ela. A filmagem está ótima. Estou gostando muito.
