beginners sewing at carnegie center, 6 sessions, all in all a success

well, the beginners sewing sessions have ended.  i feel kind of sad, but at the same time am experiencing a modicum of totally relief.  i know, a contradiction in terms.  

i think it was a success.  there were 6 people who started from absolute scratch.  had to learn sewing machine parts and how to use them.  i enjoyed watching their skills grow to the point where they each made a simple garment.

basic machine skills workshops - free - sponsored by carnegie community center & face the world foundation

wow, i am so excited to be able to give you this news.  it seems that when one has a vision, and a dream, and starts working at it in the 'real' world, things do fall into place serendipitously.

so yes, this is the buzz about these workshops.

using folk patterns, common around the world, in the present and the past, we will make a pattern for each person.  these are very, very simple and easy patterns.  each person will make a top and a pair of pants or skirt.  neat eh?
