My best sewing experience of 2011

The year 2011 has been one of numerous sewing projects and experiences. I did all kinds of sewing: alterations, costumes, bridal, custom dressmaking tailoring and window treatments. I took a couple of Apparel and Design courses at Trenholm State Technical College and a course in Draping and Pattern Making at Columbus College of Art and Design.
. However, the most exciting sewing related experience was my visit to Goodeville Fabric Outlet in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. It was overwhelming and exhilarating when I walked into the warehouse type store and saw bolts and bolts of fabric. It was my exciting High I ever got from fabric.

In addition to the sewing, I thoroughly enjoyed teaching the kids and teens classes. All of the students love to sew. I hope they will carry what they learned to their adult lives.
It was a great year for sewing!
