Why did I assume I would be hand sewing or crocheting different sculptures I would come up with? Turns out it&#8217;s a sewing course. (I was freaking out!!)  I know how to sew from a pre-college fashion sewing course I took at Academy of Art University in San Francisco during high school. (Although, not very well, and not on the monstrous sewing machines they have at Stamps.) I was still worried. Never have I had to sew for an actual college course and I had no idea what that entailed. I have learned that it is fast paced, and high expectations are set. I find that to be a really great motivator for me and enjoy how quickly we are making things. <br><br>This week through that course I learned how to sew patches onto fabric. Listen, I know they aren&#8217;t very good, but it was my first try! I had a lot of fun trying them out and that is what matters. I had about 30 minutes to complete all three examples. I cut all of the shapes that I wanted out of different colors of scrap fabric. I thought flowers would be a cute and somewhat challenging shape to do so I went for it. <br><br>See you next fiber friday! <br><br>-Marissa <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sewingpatches-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sewingpatches-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sewingpatches-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sewingpatches-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sewingpatches-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sewingpatches-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, I am taking a fiber sculpture class, and I had no idea what I was getting myself in for.
