2014 Leni Hoch Silk Scarves and Fine Fabric Art, Day Three- Meghan

Day Three:

Today was a very busy day because we had to pack up and get ready for the art show. We boxed things up and any scarves we did not have ready, we had to quickly dye, wash, and dry. I was all over the place today. They kept moving me from project to project, mostly ironing though.

Day Two:

Today was another fun day. I got to help dye some of the scarves and learned how to fold them so that they have a perfect crease and that they lay perfectly on the customer. The next thing I did was learn how to hand hem the edge of a sweater which was really hard for me. I, either, made my stitches too tight or too loose, too big or too small, so after I finished one sweater I moved on. After that, I ironed a little and then packaged up an order. They also taught me something really cool about how they package there orders up--they put them in color-order to be pleasing to the eye.

Day One:

Today was my first day working and I am not going to lie, I was a bit nervous going into it. When I pulled into her house I noticed all the silks scarves drying on a cloths line, swaying in the breeze.I walked to the front door and went inside. Everyone that works there is so sweet and inviting. They immediately started asking me all sorts of question--"do I know what this is?" They were so amazed how much I knew about fabrics and stitching thanks to the Waldorf education. After I had seen what they do at their company, they each gave me a tour of their own specialty areas-- it was really cool. The first job that was given to me was ironing, I loved this job. The next thing that I did was cut fabrics to all the same size and then give it to Sally to hem. The last thing I did today was packing orders up into boxes and making a packing list-- that was the best.
