We have the measuring tape, which is the chief of the material used for this purpose, followed by a elastic for the waist measurement and then finally, a journal where you put down your measurements so you don't get to lose or forget it.

Why are you taking this course, what is your goal in real life?

---

Taking this course will open me up to the world of pattern and garment making. I believe it won't be a bad idea if I make my clothes and that of my friends and family members . I also consider this as a means of livelihood. it can become another means of income for me.
So you see, there is a whole lot to benefit by learning this skill.

I have to drop my pen at this point but before I finally do, I would love to invite @drhira @josepha @m-fdo to this contest. I hope they find it pretty interesting. Gracias!
