You finished your beautiful new bag at sewing today…
I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how wonderful your sewing teacher is! Ms Christina is an “educator” in the truest sense of the term – gently assessing where her learners are, making safe places to take risks, nurturing next steps so gradually that you hardly even know you’re developing expertise, managing the “stuff” so that you can focus on your work, introducing you slowly and naturally to the formal language of sewing… you look forward to every class, and you have been doing this for about 2 years now.
I was so impressed with Ms. Christina’s teaching that I invited her to teach in my class at UR. Rock star. That’s all I have to say.
She sent this picture tonight after your class:
Maya has the most incredible sewing class with an exceptional educator who nurtures curiosity, ownership, risk-taking, use of real tools and competence with formal sewing language! Here are samples of her work – a book, dream pillow, bag, birdhouse and a skirt that she can wear!!! What a blessing!!
