Thursday night, I joined fellow rose scholars to learn how to sew with Beverly! She face-timed her mom in, who is a seamstress, to show us useful skills to fix our own clothes. Her mom was so sweet, and I really enjoyed this event because we got to learn practical things. Instead of how to use a sewing machine, or complicated stitches, we learned the basics that we could use to fix a rip or how to hem something. We also received a little emergency sewing kit to use. I found this extremely useful, as I am constantly losing buttons and tearing my clothes and sort of just keeping them in the back of my drawer because I really like the clothes but I couldn’t fix them. Hopefully now with my new skill I can finally wear them again!
It was also really relaxing and stress relieving to do the stitches once I got in a flow. I really enjoyed this event!
