Leora said... First project looks great. Quite impressive to tackle welt pockets on a first go. I'm not that brave after a few years! But then I don't get to work with you :) Looks so nice. 1/11/08 4:25 PM

Kathleen Fasanella said... He's working on another one this weekend and this time, won't let me help at all. Be sure to see his comments on the experience on fashion-incubator.com. The notes he's doing now, for this weekend, are better. He's figured out a few things. How home sewing is different, where the problems lie, how different jobs should be prioritized, iow, the difference btwn good rtw practices and home processes. That should go up on F-I on monday.
I don't think I'm such a great teacher but it's very kind of you all to say so. Having a lot of data points and experience isn't the same thing as being a good educator but I am trying. It helps that he's an engineer and loves me enough to ignore my foibles. 1/12/08 9:35 PM
