Sewing.

I had my second patchwork lesson/session on Monday. I signed up for free lessons (I have to pay for my own materials) in an independent textile shop run by the fabulous Isabel. 

Luckily for us both, she has sinfín of patience, despite me making the first mistake I could make while tracing the components to be stitched. The design I am sewing is a basket: 

Thus far, the 5 'til 7:30 Monday sessions consist of Isabel, myself and a woman making a patchwork glasses case. We have snack time at 6:30; Isabel gave me some biscuits last week as I wasn't aware of this ritual, I remembered my kitkat this week. She told me she went in Birmingham for a patchwork event with her friends about 3 years ago and she side-hugged me so hard I thought my glasses would break. 

What a babe.
