Reflection
Maddy-I enjoyed making the singlet with my buddy I had fun stitching it up the singlet together. the hard thing was trying to find the right fabric to make the singlet with. The learning muscle that I used was Revising and the learning muscle I think that my buddy used was noticing.
Paige- I enjoyed stitching the singlet together and stitching on the decorations. One thing that was hard was after we had make the singlet we tried it on and it broke.The learning muscle I think me and maddy used perseverance and managing distractions. I really liked doing this project.
