I have no experience doing this type of teaching and I&#8217;m very nervous.  I am doing a test workshop tomorrow, with just one friend.

It&#8217;ll turn up sometime, I&#8217;m sure.<\/p>\n<p>The coat is close to finished.  I got the darn lining in.  I am working on these frog closures for it- although they are just decorative.  The coat also has hook fasteners sewed in so they won&#8217;t show.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"coat\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/4:26:coat.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am going to do a workshop this summer on making a gourd head doll.
