I did it! I tackled my first sewing project and completed the piece and it turned out so much better than expected. It was so hopeful to have a sewing mentor to work with because she could guide me and suggest strategies to better my success. It is also nice to be a student with a teacher, as it provides me perspective into what my students experience every day. My first master teacher takes steel drum lessons so she is always remembering how to be a student and see through a students eyes and not always her own. The hardest part of this project that it was much more detailed and complex than I anticipated. I assumed I would go over to Kathy's and sew this baby up in 30 minutes, well, it took me 3 hours. Sewing takes a lot of patience and concentration but it is so much fun to be a student and to obtain new knowledge. I cannot wait to tackle my next project! I just found out I am getting my grandmother's sewing machine so it will be much easier to practice and develop my skills when I have access to a machine at home.
