[Hand sewn patchwork with a green ruffle between two segments.] I made a ruffle! I took it off a shirt that never fit me, and sewed it between the orange and the black polka dots! It took a lot of trial and error but I did it! Without looking up instructions, because sometimes they just frustrate and confuse me more than just working it out would do.  Plus then I’m never really sure if I know why I’m doing something. This whole time I’ve been looking up the smallest amount possible instructions to do what I need. Because I feel like if I don’t learn on my own I will never quite know what I’m doing.  It may be the hard way but if I tried to understand all this from a video I would get frustrated and quit before I started.

I made a ruffle!

I took it off a shirt that never fit me, and sewed it between the orange and the black polka dots!

It took a lot of trial and error but I did it!
