A lot of clothes that could be easily mended are discarded because people don\u2019t have these basic skills. By running these sessions, I was hoping to help people save money and be creative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6452155633080702945m_7945064253762960017ydpebb118e7MsoNormal\"><strong><i>What have you learnt along the way?<\/i>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6452155633080702945m_7945064253762960017ydpebb118e7MsoNormal\">Along the way I learnt about people\u2019s differing learning styles and needs. Everyone has their own pace. Also, hands-on demonstrations worked best as English is many people\u2019s second language in this community \u2013 another barrier to learning which made me want to teach this class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6452155633080702945m_7945064253762960017ydpebb118e7MsoNormal\"><strong><i>Has it been gratifying to help the women develop skills and make such usable and beautiful items?<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6452155633080702945m_7945064253762960017ydpebb118e7MsoNormal\">Running this course has been one of my most rewarding experiences. Helping women to feel empowered and confident in themselves and their creative and practical skills was a real joy. The course also created a wonderful community where women could come together to learn something new and have fun. It was an amazing feeling when women from the course with no sewing skills went home to practice and made beautiful clothes for themselves and their children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_6452155633080702945m_7945064253762960017ydpebb118e7MsoNormal\">\u2013\u00a0<i>Advance Diversity Services\u2019 multicultural women\u2019s sewing group ran from August to October 2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We interviewed Beatrice Taylor, facilitator of our multicultural women\u2019s sewing group, to find out what made her want to teach the course and what she learnt from its participants.
