Cyanel Concept

Day 16 I tried making a facemask out of old fabric. I cut my printed pattern and then the fabric. I put basting in it even though it doesn't really need to then connect them together. I haven't finished it because I don't really feel well today so I might finish it next time. August 22, 2022 Day 17 This is a pretty boring day because we are only a few and it is raining hard. I can't borrow any good sewing machine; our instructor teaches us by watching her sew. Which is hard because I can't memorize the process and the concept behind it. I kinda want her to teach us while we are on the sewing machine so me can train our muscle memory. Not only that she said before that we should not put edging on everything even though she didn't. So I have to remove almost everything on my fabric even though it keeps the fabric from fraying. I have no choice but to abide without knowing the purpose and why.

Day 11 Today was a very productive day because I continuously worked from morning to afternoon. In the morning, I used a high speed that is very hard to control because of how fast it is even when I press lightly. My classmate who sews for a living demonstrated how to thread the sewing machine and sew tax. She made me more confident in sewing because when I'm having a hard time starting, I try to remember and imitate how she does hers. After that, I continue where I left off with the ordinary sewing machine and my mom guided me in the steps which I still can't memorize. I manage to almost finish the blouse and pants. I just have to finalize it by sewing buttonholes and buttons. August 15, 2022 Day 12 I finished hand sewing the button and buttonhole of my small blouse and pants which took me almost a day to finish. I'm very slow even when my stitch is not very close to each other. I'm very happy because I can finally move on to a new project but I have no idea what I sho...

Day 6 I was really nervous last night because my college is also starting today. Good thing that the online meeting did not happen because I kept waiting for it but no one sends a link on our group chat. What we did this day is to practice our foot control. We use a piece of paper folded into two and run our sewing machines without threads. I did not stop retrying until I make a straight line. That's when I realized that I prefer a highspeed lover to an ordinary machine with a motor. Highspeed has more control and is also silent. The table does not vibrate like crazy in comparison to the ordinary sewing machine and I like how high speed can go so much faster even though I do not really need that horsepower because I'm just a beginner. Later this day, our teacher taught us how to cut and sew the pattern we made with a small replica. I can't remember all the steps so I hope I can do it too the same way that she did. Now I'm nervous again because she is expecting just to f...

When I say I want to improve my skills, this is what I meant. I want to enhance my creativity but now, with garments. It is pretty hard to enroll for this short course here in my place (for free too) because they have hidden it well. Fortunately, we found it! I will use what I learned for our business that is why I'm trying new things. Looking forward to getting my national certificate by the end of 35 days! We have classes from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm (with an exception on Mondays because we have a flag ceremony at 7:30am). I have to wake up early again to go to school just like the old times before the pandemic happened. That's why I'm very excited! I already met my classmates before in our orientation. They are fun to be with and I can see my mom having fun too (we are classmates btw). Most of them are already parents, meaning they are probably older than me by a decade/s. It has a different vibe from my high school; the atmosphere is very light and everyone is easy...
