Sew it begins

Today was the first day of sewing class.  The teacher is such a nice lady and has a lot of personal experience sewing.  There are three of us in the class as students.  The teacher picked out an easy pattern, a robe, for all of us to do.  Today she showed us how a sewing machine works and how to thread the needle and bobbin.  We also picked out fabric (which was donated to the class) to make our robes with.

The robe is shown on the model; it is also pictured at the top middle of this picture.
