#4 Free Sewing Lessons

My grandma is a genius at all things that involve thread and needle.

She has spent the better part of 60 years getting to know over 15 different sewing machines. She's made blankets, embroidered picture frames, dresses, hats, sweaters, and even couch covers. Now, she's passing the torch... to me.

Today I had my first, official sewing lesson with my grandma. She was patient as I threaded her 2000 dollar machine incorrectly and caused a big jam. She laughed when I poked her with pins as she held the material for me. She even cheered me on when I sloooowly sewed my first patch on a blanket while whining that it was too hard. I'm lucky to learn from a woman like this.

Honorable Mention:
  • Cleaning a cluttered room from top to bottom and throwing away three garbage bags full of junk.
