I attended the Learn How to Sew Rose Scholar event. I had some experience sewing prior to the event from my mom, but I have long forgotten what she taught me. I feel like now that I am living away from home, it is important to improve on these skills because you never really know when it is going to come in handy. It actually turned out that I bought a skirt that was too big for me, but I had no time to get a smaller size since the event was going to be soon. This event gave me the skills that I needed to successfully sew my skirt. Also, I was really happy to get a free mini sewing kit as well. This came in very handy because I actually needed to use the skills that I learned from the event at the kit multiple times following the event.
