Aerobics and stitching!

Text written in: English

What a sight Twenty or so puzzled Indian women goodnaturedly step, bounce and gesticulate as suggested. Theresa leads with energy and infectious enthusiasm.

But you can see them wondering why English women would want to do this. After two songs ( the first is appropriately "I'm calling out for mercy! Mercy!"). Then we settle dom for stitching. We're embroidering placemats, some with more expertise than others. That is my best effort: it really is! Many of the ladies are much faster, more accurate and neater than I am. What beatiful work.

The placemats are to be sold in England and the USA.

I think they should be offered in context with a description of the craftswomen, and how long the item has taken.
