I was cleaning out a closet and came across a skirt I sewed years ag0 – long ago! I loved to sew. I was not super great at it, but I loved to sew. My interest started in Brownies with a sewing project we did by hand. My interest continued not only through scouting but in Home Economics class in school. I made a lot of skirts, dresses, pillows and curtains… But one thing I could never master was pockets. Every time I needed to sew a pocket; I would l sew it backwards! Ugh. Even my Home EC teacher was unable to help me understand how to do it correctly. (How frustrating it was for her!) Sometimes that is what happens in life, isn’t it? We can do many things correctly, but there are times when we just don’t – where we simply have difficulty understanding. Even when we ask for help. That’s okay, though. We are not perfect!
