Re: The Second Measure: Sewing, Yarnwork, and other Needlework

I've been meaning to post here for so long.
So I started taking classes and they are a lot of fun, though my teacher is SUPER strict and meticulous, which is actually a good thing During autumn and the beginning of winter we learned about reading patterns and sewing skirts and now we have moved on to blouses and dresses. Thanks to these classes I have happily remembered how good I was at geometry in school and how terrible I was at algebra Anyway, like usual, I'm pretty slow and picking things up, but once I understand them, I understand them for good
Here are two of the baby blankets I made. This one is the one I made for my goddaughter, I found this cute pattern on youtube and used it to make a blanket:

And this is the one I made for her little cousin, it was my first attempt at patchwork

Fk, no, those crazy looms are for belt weaving Here's one of my recent belts

The quality of the picture is terrible, the blue of the belt is actually very rich in color. I made this for a friend and was really sorry that I had to give it away
I'm working on another belt right now, but it's a complicated design and I sort of lost the insperation for it. I promised my teacher it would be ready by next Wednesday, so I suppose I shall have to buckle down and do it
