My first project was an A line dress, got a “B”, second project was a princess cut pattern w/ dog collar. I got a “D” on it because I could not make the teacher’s seven step zipper insertion work for me, (I took it home and put an invisible zipper in, and took it back to the teacher) and she down graded me for not showing her each step. (She wanted it basted four separate times, before the zipper touched the fabric...!) crazy.
