Wrapping up Genius Hour..

Although Genius hour was a great experience I'm so glad it is over. I had a lot of trouble with this project, more than I expected. 

My favorite part of this journey was learning about it. Everyone usually thinks learning is boring (which it is) but when your really interested in something and committed you will do whatever it takes to accomplish it and have fun doing it. The most interesting thing I learned was sewing. I didn't know anything before so learning more about it was really fun even though I failed a lot.

The least favorite part of this journey was blogging about it. It's not that I didn't like it it's just that I always forget at the last minute. The least favorite thing I learned was measurements because it involved a lot of math. 

Overall I found out that I'm a fast learner and I can do anything I put my mind to. I worked really hard on these project a o feel as if it paid off. Thanks to everyone who viewed my blog. Here is the final product: ( if your wondering why it's blue it's because I ran out of red fabric and I only had blue left so I decided to use blue.)

Progress

Update

Hello bloggers! This week of genius hour was intense. I have been pretty busy this week but I did find time to complete my outfit. I have finished the skirt part of it now all I have to do is the top which is the hard part for me. 

I learned some new sewing patterns. I didn't know there were so many different ways and techniques when sewing. I liked the zig-zag pattern because it looked cool. There are a lot of things that you have to know about the sewing machine. Such as; how to change the stitching pattern and making sure the needle is correctly aligned. It gets pretty frustrating because I keep messing up but I'm not gonna give up.

The whole thing should be complete by Wednesday. So I will be posting a picture of the completed dress on Wednesday or Thursday. Make sure you come check out my blog sometime this week to see the completed version.
