Day 9


 Today I started my day around 8am with some coffee and breakfast. By 9am I was sewing, starting by attaching pockets to the skirt, which will all come together at the end. So far it looks pretty good but I won’t be able to tell til I sew the two ends together! After I sewed for a couple hours I headed to school for my last tennis match against Exeter. Sadly, we lost but it was a fun match and we got food at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, los olas! I plan to do more sewing tonight once I get back to my house possibly from 7-9pm to get most of the skirt finished and possibly start working on the top tomorrow! 

Hours today: 4 hours

Hours total: 32 hours

    Hi There--So thankful for your support of the theatre program! You should allow for those hours as community service= 6 hrs. We may be stretching but you added a lot of help! How is this new skirt going to be?? So excited to see what is happening! Remember you have to write a reflection and there is the exit interview-I can help with the prep if needed!

Reflection Week 2

 This week went quite a bit better than last week. Going into this week I was a bit concerned that I would not finish sewing my project in time. I spent the first few days this week sewing the skirt of the dress together. By the time I was finished sewing the skirt, it was already Thursday and originally I was supposed to present my Public Demonstration on Friday. Friday morning I spent adding finishing touches and making a top to go with the skirt. By the time I was finished, it would have been time to head to school but we changed my demo to the next day. This gave me a bit more time Saturday morning to make up a presentation slide to go with my skirt and top I made. I got to school pretty early to get everything set up. My public demo even though it was a very small crowd was really fun. I got to engage in a tone of interesting conversation surrounding what I had worked on this year. It was a nice way to show my work and end on a good note feeling proud of myself even if it did not

Day 6 (May 13th)

 Today, I spent most of my day at the Lakes Region Tennis tournament. My teammates all played really well but unfortunately we lost and St.Paul’s took the win. After we got food and headed back to campus. I then went home and continued to cut out the fabric and patterns. I did this from around 6:50pm to7:50pm. I might continue to work on this to finish it tonight so that way I can start sewing and getting back on track with my dress. If I can start piecing everything together by Monday then I should have the dress finished around the end of the week!  Hours today: 2 (possibly more) Hours total: 20

Day 2 (May 9th) Finishing My Concentration

Image
 Today I slept in a little knowing I would be spending most of my hours at school. Around 11am I started by trying to figure out how I would cut up the second-hand dress to fit my patterns. I got to school around 1:15pm and talked with Heidi about the layout of my concentration and finalizing everything. I was in the Theater by 1:45pm folding costumes. I was in the theater til 4:45pm, I ended up cleaning some gears, helping with math, cutting a lot of the seams on my dress, and helping with putting some other things away. Then I headed to play some tennis! Today I spend a total of 4 hours working on many different things! My goal for tomorrow is the have all the seams cut and start cutting the fabric for the skirt of the dress! Hours today: 4 hours Hours total: 8 hours
