ArtMind: Pincushion ring

Pincushion ring

Sewing class can be really boring as things are moving soooo slow there.
We started a pair of pants in December and it's still not finished.
The class is filled with too many students that can't sew so it's taking us forever to move along smoothly. The students line up for asking questions at the teacher so when it's finally your turn, the class is half over already.
There probably is no easier way so I bear with it. While I can't work on the stuff we're supposed to make, I do other things to fill up time with small things like making happy girls or do a tiny sewing project. I made this the other day & I love it.

Tutorial can be found here.

I've been an assistant in some sewing classes, and it is difficult when lots of people need constant help. It would be nice for them to have beginner and intermediate classes for you!

You are brilliant, Mitsy! I know it takes a long time to learn how to sew. But soon you will be making leaps and bounds. That pin-cushion ring shows a renegade mind!!!

Love the ring! Very practical for you as well! Sorry to hear the class is moving so slow. I think the sewing class I took in school when I was 13 years old moved faster than that. hehehe I guess it must just be too overcrowded. Be patient. Soon you will be able to wear your pants. Can't wait to see them finished!
