This morning one of my work colleagues showed me the results of the evening 
class for sewing that she ran yesterday.

As an introduction to sewing she taught her students to make a patchwork pin 
cushion.  In just a couple of hours they had mastered making a cardboard 
patchwork template, pinning fabric, threading a sewing machine and using a 
sewing machine.

However, these new skills were not what was being talked about.  What made the 
students really happy is that they had made something in their first session 
that they had only ever bought before, it worked, looked good and they made it.

Perhaps that is one of the most important elements of these pin cushions; these 
pin cushions now hold memories
