Vietnamese hand embroidery is a traditional craft dating back 700 years.[citation needed] Usually, tiny threads are used to create brightly coloured pictures on cloth. It is a popular extracurricular activity for young girls in high school. Traditionally, girls are expected to know how to decorate pillowcases, curtains and tablecloths with hand embroidery.[1]
