Basking in the morning sun in a seat against the window, Liu Menglan is doing magic on clothes, stitching life-like flowers with the dexterity of her hands.
For Liu and some other women from North China s Inner Mongolian autonomous region, the spacious embroidery studio has upended their lives - in a good way.
I never imagined a life like this. My family earned almost 60,000 yuan (around $9,331) last year, Liu said in contentment. She is now capable of making as much as 40,000 yuan a year from embroidery products.
Liu and her fellow embroiders are just some of the 26,000 women from the Horqin Right Wing Middle Banner of Hinggan League to capitalize on their talent in embroidery and secure a stable income on their doorstep.
