College Finished!

No alteration today, just happiness!  I have finished the college course, and unless City and Guilds think differently to my tutor, I have passed.  

How funny to think that 40 odd years ago my Mum did the same course and also taught sewing for adult education!  She does 'real 'sewing - following instructions, altering patterns, making hems level, whereas I do far more making it up as we go, but all the same!

I did get Southern Star's binding finished when I got home.  

There is some quilting too, I copied the 8 sided star and turned it into an embroidery machine stitch and stitched it randomly a dozen or so times

  9. Well done Benta, really well deserved. Isn't it strange how we follow in so many of our mothers' footsteps? Well actually I suppose it isn't strange at all!!
