"I am now the Madame"

October 02, 2024

   

When this woman first began her journey to literacy, she was asked her motivation behind her desire to learn to sew. She replied that she wanted to become a sewing instructor, not just to sew in the house. A few years later, she not only reads well, but she has been hired as a sewing teacher in another sewing program. As you can see, she is very proud of her students, but not as proud as we are of her! She has set her sights high and accomplished her dream.  

These sewing students are responsible to provide their own supplies, so we know they have skin in the game.  Since fabric is expensive and you would not want to make a mistake on your work of art, these students are learning to design and sew by hand with paper. This allows them to get it all right before they transfer their design to their fabric. 

At FMF, we love building people, but building people who BUILD people is our true goal!  Well done!
