My husband and I absolutely loved this experience—it was one of our favorite things we did in Mexico City! Starting at the museum and learning about the history and traditions behind embroidery and textiles before getting to try it ourselves made the experience feel so thoughtful and special.
The café where we embroidered was beautiful, and our host was not only incredibly kind but also a wonderful teacher. Even as beginners, we felt comfortable and had so much fun learning.
It also felt like such a great value. You leave with all the supplies you need to finish your piece if you don’t complete it during the experience, plus tickets to re-enter the museum if you want to spend more time exploring afterward.
We left with a new skill, a custom souvenir, and such a fun memory from our trip. It’s a really unique way to experience and learn more about Mexican culture. I’d absolutely call this a must-do while in CDMX!
