Sew S-E-W

Okay, so I am taking a basic sewing class. (Yes, I know, this is funny already) My neighbor and I both sewed in 4-H when we were younger...much younger...but how hard can it really be, right?

We had our first class last night. I was basically informed by the teacher that I can't do anything right. Can't cut out the pattern properly, can't pin properly, can't line up the pattern properly. She was ON me! I was closer to tears last night than I have been since Physics in college. She apparently thinks I'm a complete idiot as well, since she felt she needed to clarify that we will sew "S-E-W" next week.

I wonder if that people that I took care of in the hospital had that same impression of me, or is it just confined to sewing? Wait...don't answer that one.
