First Pant (2004)

I was anxious.

Would I fall behind after switching majors so late? Was it the wrong choice?


Looking at my red, burning fingers from sewing,

every time I clutched my aching back from the sewing machine,

my heart was half excitement, half anxiety.


Two days after starting the sewing machine...

I ripped apart a pair of jeans at home.

Tracing the torn pants onto paper, I remember piecing it together with fabric scraps from school.


It took six months to realize, and a year to truly learn,

that what I had been tracing onto paper was called a pattern... ^^heh
