Reflection on the week

·         
A good week.  This kind of reading up in books, working together to get some sense out of the fabric in our hands with the input of G has been very positive.  G also told us that the first suit he ever made was so bad that he refused to wear it, so we know he appreciates the position we three are in.  There was a very good atmosphere in the workroom this week, to the point that even having one’s work criticized, literally being shown where one had gone wrong and needed to start again, we not demoralizing, but weirdly uplifting.
Mistakes need to be made in order to progress: if you don’t make mistakes, you don’t learn how things can go wrong.  If you don’t know how things go wrong, when they suddenly spring at you in the future, you have no idea how to remedy them or, even, quite what has gone wrong.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. – Samuel Beckett, Worstward Ho
