Tresillian Workshop - The Last Day

It's been over 3yrs 

since I first started teaching at Tresillian

both REinventing & Learn to Sew workshops

today was my last day

a little bitter sweet 
 my wonderfully loyal & talented group of Thursday girls did me proud

with some wearing completed outfits

Rosie

 and others completing their projects

as we carried on per usual

enjoying each others company chatting over our morning tea & coffee

before heading into the Cafe

for lunch & sort-of-secret-Santa gift giving

Charlotte & Sally

Rosie realising the wrapping paper on her present could be a great pattern for trousers.

it was especially special & very fitting
that two of my students who were there at the beginning also shared the end.

Elfrida & Sue [have been regular participants since day one] with Louise.

The brief for present buying was

1 Christmas themed item, 1 handmade item & 1 sewing related item

I did very well

exceptionally well

as the girls also collectively presented me with a thankyou gift

which I enjoyed as soon as I got home and could put my feet up.

The decision to let Tresillian go was not easy

change never is

however I've learnt over the years that when something feels right 

it usually is

... onwards & upwards!
