Material Designs Sewing

Things heard in the sewing studio in 2025:
1) I am going to be a sewing teacher when I grow up. I just need a lot more sewing machines. Actually- I am a sewing teacher now because I showed my sister what I could do.
2) Is this grain straight enough?
3) Thumbs up sign when I complimented them on sewing straight. They didn’t want to stop sewing!
4) A chorus of ‘Happy Retirement’ songs whenever a needle breaks or bends - many different tunes and vocals and it is fabulous every time!

Apparently I say the same things a bunch, so here they are:
1) Great work!
2) Fair enough (when students are picking between a few fabrics)
3) Oh no! No-no (when a needle breaks or a machine makes an interesting sound).

It has been a lovely year teaching everyone and I look forward to 2026!
