First Day of Classes?

So I am still uncertain if I’ve started classes yet. Well today we had a sewing machine and pattern cutting introduction, but it was semi and tutorial and partly making sure everyone knew how to use everything. So in the sewing machine “induction”, as they call it, we were taught how to thread the machines properly and were shown a few different types of seams. Of course I was ahead of the crowd, most people got lost half way through threading the sewing machine and by that time I was speeding through the seams we had to complete. The two sew machine room technicians really liked me, so that is a plus. As for the pattern cutting induction all we did was trace body blocks for a bodice. For those of you who don’t know what a block is, it’s a very basic bodice pattern that has no real design behind it, but is the 2D representation of the human 3D figure, so it would be like making a flat pattern out of your skin. So we listened to the pattern cutting technician lecture about rules and what not and then we traced our patterns and were able to leave. Before I left I asked if we’d be doing everything in the metric system and she said yes. Uh oh I better get used to metric and fast!
