Classes with mature women is incredibly difficult...

This sewing class can be really useful and I've found it to be just that. Anyways I think I've been working on my jacket for maybe 12 weeks. I've created the pattern block. Made a toile. Found the fabric. And started to construct the whole thing....

ugh I know quite a few elderly ladies and I think they use these classes as a social thing rather than learning if that makes sense?

@Gangstress OK, but in my environment, the older, more experienced, teach and bring along the student. No argument, just my experience.

Gangstress · 41-45, F

yeh I get ya! its often the same here, but I live ina retirement village, so all the older ladies like to have their social time lol

I get where ya coming from though, coz id be that old lady @Oster1

@Mellowgirl that's really annoying, shes obviously got to much pride! its not right! I hope you manage to get what you need done, maybe do what the other girl did and put your headphones in! x

Yeah older women tend to take skill based classes specifically to get out of the house, socialize, make friends, and feel a part of the community. They don’t actually care that much about the project most of the time.

@WhateverWorks This I am Learning, unfortunately its no longer free and piss around.
we have been getting inspected for progress.

@WhateverWorks I beg to differ. They usually, want to carry the 'knowledge', further.

WhateverWorks · 36-40

If you say so. I love hanging out with the older ladies. They’re hilarious and very chatty. Sure, some of them pass on knowledge, but the classes help with the isolation and loneliness they often experience @Oster1

So, you are teaching now?

Good for you!

Please come over here, for 6 weeks, our Seamstresses, will teach you, in ways, you never thought possible!

@Oster1 @Oster1 Haha no I'm not teaching atm. the tutor has asked me to help her wit things like printing and setting up the class, but I do help the others when I can.
the students do come to me but the tutor can get a bit funny about it only because I might guide them incorrectly.

@Mellowgirl Ahhh, you would never steer, anyone wrong. 🤗
