Have you watched the television programme 'The Great British Sewing Bee' in the BBC channel? Sewing, a very painful experience. When I was in secondary school, I picked up (actually it was appointed by teacher and compulsory then) sewing class as an interest. I could not afford a sewing machine, and I had to sew every project ( A-line skirt, shirt, trousers etc etc ) stitch by stitch. 真是被针扎到血流成河啦 。。。哈哈哈。。。好夸张! I didn't understand about the pattern drafting, I was told to draw like this and that... and don't ask 'why' 不要多嘴，叫你这样画，你就这样画，听到没! 呢个时候，真是懵懵的。Sotong lah! Though I have improved now, I'd whisper in your ear that I'm not a good sewer.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you part of my sewing tools and a sewing machine! The price tag on the french curve is still attached, it cost $1.10 from 大众百货. 大众百货was on the 2nd floor above NTUC Supermarket at Queentown, which has already gone into history liao!
ps. My school days were not in Singapore, so my experience is nothing related to any secondary school here nor MOE 不要自己对号入座哦!
