Glad you stuck with it! Can't wait to see some of your work. I remember when I was in jr. high....I had been sewing for some time by then and I had a little trouble with laying out the patterns.....I thought the teacher was wasting too much fabric....My mom had to go to school , she talked with the teacher, I apologized. After, she told me I was right..."it was wasting fabric but the class lessons were supposed to be followed"...a sort of grin and bear it...next one was made with enough to spare...went into a Barbie quilt and a Chatty Cathy dress. Guess I just dated myself.!
