Last night the school’s fashion show happened. 16 hour day means dress for comfy glam. With a fan of course!

With April being final project month for my students means realizing it is also final projects month for me as I will be staying a bit later, going in in a bit earlier, shortening my lunch hour.

I want to be there to assist them with fittings and finishings and ensuring they do their best work for the upcoming graduation fashion show, but also for their future selves.

It's especially telling how pervasive "fast fashion" is when many of them don't know what a facing is, or why they should try to make sure their garments are well finished so they will last for more than 1 season....
