Sewing class was super fun! I don't think I'm going to totally suck. My back is going to totally hurt, though. Last night we went over all the basic supplies and terminology, and then we measured ourselves and cut out our patterns. No sewing yet, but I did learn a lot already, and I'm looking forward to the next class. There are just three students in this one, and the instructor is a friend of mine, so it's very laid back and I get plenty of guidance. Elizabeth (the instructor) cracked up when she saw the fabric I'd brought for the first project -- it's a cute whale print that she'd also bought to make diaper covers for her baby. Well, my tush and her baby's tush are going to match nicely.
I think when we move on to using the machines, I'll be sitting down more and my back won't be as strained, but all the measuring and pinning and pressing and cutting last night was very back-ouchie. Funny, BodyPump, RPM, running a race -- all these things were fine. How is my back injury aggravated? Sewing class. I'll mention it to my PT tomorrow. "You know, athletics are going great, but what I'd really like is to get in shape for sewing."
