Taryn has been taking sewing lessons for the last several years and it is really paying off. She sews way better than I do for sure. She usually does something new on each project...like learns how to line sheer material or how to sew with slippery material or how to sew in a zipper. But her projects are pretty self directed...like she learns what ever she decides she wants to and her teacher helps her go for it.
This was her last project. It is a dress, fully lined, with a high low skirt, seems up the front, and a sheer overlay top thing...and its zippered in the back. Pretty impressive considering that she went to the store chose the patter and cloth and cut it out and sewed it all herself (with minimal guidance from her awesome rock star teacher). She's had to learn how to unpick and redo and stick to it until its done without swearing in frustration...and that is good to know too (not that she really swears)... Anyway she's got serious skills and I'm so proud of her for chasing her passion and discovering her strengths. I love this kid!
