Sewing class was hilarious!
It was clear to me that I was never going to learn to sew from the video class. It was a good $25 spent because there's a wealth of information about material, tools, etc and I'm sure I'll be able to better understand the techniques after some experience but I definitely need some hands on experience.
Signed up with the local vocational school for a six week course (12 - 15 hours). Fifteen women. None of us have a clue. Dumb as dirt. We're talking about how to thread a needle. It took a half hour for all of us to figure out the most basic stitches.
The poor instructor. She and her husband own a business but I think this is maybe the second time she's done this class and this one is clearly larger than her last one. She's trying to get the powers that be to extend the class by a half hour each week.
We all had a ton of fun but we are complete idiots. It's so funny! We all got it all eventually though so there's hope. :) Gotta get those custom curtains done . . .
