The art of embroidery can be found all over the world in many cultures, with many early examples dated to the 5th–3rd century BC...and to continue your history lesson... It is said within ancient Greek mythology that the goddess Athena passed to people the art of embroidery, along with weaving (which also features later in the programme); this then led to Arachne, a human female master weaver, to challenge Athena to a competition in skill.
You will be glad to hear folks Kirsty won’t be expecting anything quite so high brow!
