Hello there! Do you know what embroidery is? It's when we use a needle and thread to create designs on fabric. Sichuan embroidery is a type of embroidery that comes from a place in China called Sichuan.

The people in Sichuan have been doing embroidery for a very long time, and they have become very good at it! They use lots of colors and different stitches to make very beautiful designs.

When they do Sichuan embroidery, they start by drawing the design they want to make onto a piece of fabric. Then, they use a needle and thread to stitch over the lines of the design to make it look like a picture.

Sometimes, they use lots of different colors to make the design more interesting. And sometimes they use special stitches, like ones that make flowers look more realistic.
