Sewing is all the education a girl needs!

This post is dedicated to : My Cousin ,Brielle, I couldn't have done this it without you. ;P

*Please note Sarcasm!

Why can't we just sew all year round, without stopping for school...infact the way i see it we don't need school! Sewing will suffice!

We (Brielle and I) evaluated our sewing habits and concluded that we seem to incorporate, Math, Geometry, History, Public speaking, Geography, Literature, Home ect. (obviously), P.E., and all into a few hours of diligent sewing. Let me explain...

Math: We are constantly doing "very" difficult equations such as , "How many pattern pieces do we need for skirt D?", or "How many inches should we add to this blouse to make it decent?". As you can see it is very complicated and we need to call on our highest inellectual sources to conquer these daily conundrums.

Geometry: Uhm...evaulating the pattern pieces and size measurements is enough geometry...=)

History: We tend to use historical or atleast vintage patterns in our sewing. In fact I'm going to make a pair of pants off of an actual pattern from 1919...pretty cool. Like I said, we (mainly Brielle) generally like making historical costumes, at this moment we are both working on civil war era ball gowns.... If that isn't enough history for you what is? (Not that any true homeschooler could ever get to much history... Jason and the Argonauts , Huh Aunt Dee Dee?) But seriously, to make a good historical costume you have to study up on that era...Also our favorite movies to watch while we sew are historical fiction.

Public Speaking: Well.....let's evauluate the true meaning of "Public Speaking". Public, done openly: made, done, or happening openly, for all to see ,a public debate
Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Speaking,

1. involving speech: involving speech or speaking

Thus, "public speaking" would mean speech done openly, or Speech happening openly. Now that we have cleared that up we can establish the fact that we are ,infact, conducting , some very serious amounts of ,shall we say, speech done openly ;) whilst we sew. (I would say that counts as socialazation also)

Geography: uhm...some of the movies we watch are in different countries. ....that was a stretch. =)

Litrature: We often discuss our favorite books, and the ones we have read most recently during our sewing.

P.E.: Keeping your foot on the petal for such long periods of time can be an excruciating workout....

Now, I'm not being serious...mostly. =) So don't take any of this seriously...except I do prefer sewing to most other ...subjects shall we say.
Love to hear from you,

Rose

Hello Rose,
Thank you for dedicating that post to me... how sweet of you. I agree with you... lets just do sewing all the time.... I got all the play pictures painted...so that's nice...I'm hoping to finish up my dress today..., but like I said...um...hopefully. :)

Well..... oh, I did hear back from Mr. and Mrs. Darcy and they still want to order the costumes...so they need to get back to me on sizes.

Will Turner e-mailed and looks like he wants the jacket and shirt, but he'll e-mail back soon to confirm it for sure. Looks like he's the same size as um...Nate ...so guess who gets to be the model?

See you later...
Love you cousin,
Brielle
