Before this experience, I was slightly nervous to work with such a new, different art medium. I'm used to working with things such as paints and pencils, not a needle and thread. I set my expectations pretty low for the finished piece because of the newness of the media and my lack of experience with sewing arts. From an educational standpoint, I wanted to push myself to learn a whole new art form. I look forward to not only using it personally but having this knowledge to share with others.
