Missed a drinking session after work today, a small pity because I appreciate there's some charity auction going on over drinks which I would have been delighted to watch. But it's alright for me I'm not keen on alcohol. There are, however, some people who believe that if you don't drink, you don't 'go out' enough.
Not highly interested today to be labouring the point on how loosely correlated these two issues are. Instead I'm going to be talking about how the 'miss' turned out to be a 'hit' for me.
So Wednesday nights I'm attending dress making (DM) lessons. Been doing this for 4 weeks now (excluded 2 sessions I missed due to OT work) and every lesson I go to class being a happy student.
Today's lesson was a big milestone for me. I learnt how to transfer my pattern from brown paper to real fabric, how to secure the pattern to the fabric and cut the fabric properly. I learnt there is a machine to use that's specifically for stitching the holds on frayed ends. I also learnt how to stitch up darts.
That's a lot of MEANINGFUL time spent - in place of 'going out' to absorb alcohol and cigarette smoke. I actually prefer learning to make tangible stuff that I can wear. Hope I can be good enough to make presents for my beloved lovely friends..
I hope I don't miss lessons again. My DM peers have advanced way beyond what I'm doing now.
You want me to skip another lesson?
MAKE ME.
