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.
I feel like sewing is an underrated skill. I too learned how to do it and forgot it and I’m disappointed in myself over that. I’m glad to hear that you were able to pick it back up again without much difficulty.
I was going to comment something along these lines. Sewing is such an underrated skill. When I came into college I used to sew and customize my clothes but as I got busier and busier it became a skill I used less and less. Sewing with beverly was extremely fun and it reawakened my love for sewing.
