march, being the international women’s month found me teaching women, i.e., rural women, some skills which i believe will make them, not just exist, but be . i named the class: "sew easy, sew simple"
it's been a really fun experience, not only am i teaching people, but i am learning some new things myself!
i love seeing what develops, from different perspectives, color choices, and their own personal visions and how they approach things.
at each class i've had, there have been at least one or 2 people that really were concerned that they couldn't do it, they didn't feel creative enough, or had no clue what they were going to do.
they almost seemed panicked. but in the end, they did it!
that's the one thing that i find most rewarding is how proud people are when the class is over, they truly have a feeling of accomplishment, you can see them beaming with pride over their creations.
that seriously makes me the happiest. these people tapped into their inner artist and created wonderful things that i know they were proud of.
so here, i show some images from my most recent class...patchwork cushion cover made from recycled fabrics, embroidered apron, embellished canvass tote. . .wonderful creations from people that never even knew they had it in them!
i mean, look at this super cool bag, Mabelle made!
lovette!
so if you too want to try tapping into your inner artist, think about signing up for one of my F.A.R.M. classes where you'll meet new people, figure out things about yourself you may not have known you were capable of, and have a great time doing it!
and the best part is, i take care of all the mess afterwards, and i'll even feed you
isn't that so nice? :)
