Whew, I thought I'd have some more time to blog these holidays but I've been busy with my internship. I'm working at a clothing manufacturer and it's a great experience. It's so rewarding to see the clothing develop out of everyone's different specialties. I made a pattern for them after being shown a photo of a draped dress then I cut out the fabric and I saw the first sample today. The people I work for are really giving me great exposure to everything. I enjoy talking to the seamstress and collaborating on what the finished product will be. I altered the pattern and should see the second sample tomorrow. The internship is really showing me how to apply my knowledge in a  practical, business sense. I honestly never thought I would enjoy it so much, I was envisioning having to make coffee and doing grunt work somewhere and I'm so happy to rather be in the thick of making clothes so I can really learn. There's just something enchanting and humble about the work. I've always really respected manual fields because they're such useful old world professions and the people (who make and do amazing things with their hands) are so modest when really, they're very talented.
