My friend Bri showed me the ropes today and I cropped this shirt myself, like, that’s powerful baby look at that clean hem!

BEING HUMBLED

I am taking an Intro to Sewing class every Sunday and it is a supremely humbling experience. The first week we learned how to make a scrunchie. Yesterday we made an elastic-waist skirt (Mean Girls™️ fabric). I am not good at any part of this and have to get over my perfectionist mindset. Showing up every week and being humbled before the great sewing machine has been totally inspiring. So much so, that I’ve ordered a refurbished sewing machine to keep practicing at home (and eventually I’ll be making / mending / hemming things of my own).

Sewing 🪡

Have never learned and the initial learning of the basics is seeming scary 🤒 but I keep seeing things and thinking that as an unemployed student I rly need to be making not buying things. also fun and customisable! The seamstresses in my life have so much fun 🤩
