Dong girls start learning how to work with needles and thread in their childhood with embroidery as a basic skill. This craftsmanship has been passed down through many generations, and has been perfected over the years.
The methods of Dong ethnic embroidery include lockstitch, plain, tie, clip-paste knit, etc. It is so complicated that this type of embroidery cannot be duplicated or replaced by machinery. The embroidery is usually stitched on the following things: clothing, baby carriers, waist-belts, purses, quilts, pillowcases, etc.
Patterns of Dong embroidery are rich and varied and include the dragon, phoenix, ancient fir, bird, fish, drum towers, roofed bridge, etc.
