Remember back in April went I set out to MAKE A KIMONO-STYLE ROBE by the end of April?
You kind of followed my journey when I posted my OUT TO SEWs // 1, 2, and 3.
Well, I finished just this past weekend.
It's kind of sad story. It was supposed to go on for the four consecutive Saturdays in April, but on the third Saturday, our sewing instructor (who I absolutely adore) got sick. Class resumed on April 27th, but that would mean the "finishing" of the robe would spill over into May. Then, that first Saturday of May got cancelled because poor Pat was sick again. When the class finally got together for our last session this past May 11th Saturday, we found out Pat had a severe asthma attack, was in a coma and on a resperator. 8| I just can't believe it. I hope the news on her comes back good soon. It would be a nice deviation from all the saddness that seems to happen one after the other this past year.
Anyway, that Pat: she taught me everything I currently know about sewing. Most importantly, she made me feel comfortable sitting in front of my sewing machine. I now have the confidence I need to embark on other sewing adventures. ...and my robe? It's pretty sweet, even with it's many imperfections. I love it.
Get well soon, Pat!
I am so very grateful for the sewing skills she taught me, my new spring robe, and how my one little word {MAKE} manifested itself last month.
