Day 11

 Friday, May 19th

Today was me and Beth's final day to finish these pants we worked from 12:00 to 5:00. And in those five hours we finished everything. we did the flat felt side seem to sew the pants together. then we needed to add a waste band which we did along with beltloops which were too thick for my machine so Beth used her industrial machine and the thick bunched denim still broke 5 or 6 needles. then finally we made a button hole, put on a button, and hemmed the bottom of my jeans and we were done.

Weekly Reflection

Weekly Reflection  This past week I learned so much.  I learned what commuting to school meant.  I had to drive myself 35 minutes each way as opposed to a brief walk three minutes across campus.  I learned planning meals to fit into my sessions. I learned that I can focus for four hours when it's on something I really enjoy.  Though these tasks still require attention and stamina, I am energized by the topic, I don't feel bored, I feel engaged. I realized that I like both sewing and drawing very much.  It is hard to choose one over the other, though they are completely different modalities, that required completely different skill sets.  I was reminded that having great teachers (as I do at Proctor) matters. This week gave me a glimpse of what the rest of my year and the next few will look like, and I am excited about that.
