Taryn is my awesome fashion girl. She has been taking sewing lessons for a while now and creating cool things is definitely her passion. Even though she has been sewing for a while she usually does it at lessons because my sewing machine is still packed in a box in the garage....there's just no good place to put it inside and I really don't use it that much...well my niece, who saw Taryn's poodle Halloween skirt, asked Taryn if she would make her one for a school dance. Taryn was very flattered but nervous. I thought it was kind of a good way to test her skills and let her gain confidence/independence. So we went to the store and she new exactly what to buy and how to read the back of the pattern to get supplies. I was floored at how easily she navigated JoAnn's. Then came the cutting out part and she stressed. But after a few texts to her sewing teacher she relaxed and got it done...until it came to the zipper and apparently I don't have a zipper foot for my sewing machine....who knew? Anyway she took it to her lesson and used her teachers and finished it. Then she had to readjust the size a little and look and what she did....very independently and amazingly. She has a talent and I'm so proud of her hard work. Patterns and puzzles just make sense to her. I love it! And her cousin seemed to love it too.
