Embroidery was once taught to every young Jordanian girl. Each girl was expected to embroider her own wedding dress and the clothes she would need as a married woman. The patterns were very detailed, featured bright colours and required months to complete. Although this skill is no longer taught to all girls, some women still do beautiful embroidery on clothes and furnishings.
