Last night I was in a sewing class. I sat a desk among thirty other desks with students I did not know. They all had a green cloth binder. I understood I was new and the teacher would be giving me my own green cloth binder with sewing supplies inside. I did not know how to start or what I would make. I glanced at other desks and saw little satin pillows that someone had made. I waited patiently for my cloth binder.
