Anyone else notice/bothered by the fact that she switched pieces of fabric she was working on halfway through to cover her mistake? She didn't pay enough attention while cutting and her leaves were going in the opposite direction on the two pieces, but after pressing, she switched to pieces that were correctly oriented. If you happen to be using directional fabric like she was, make sure you pay really close attention to the direction when cutting! Otherwise, a great class, I just get paranoid about these things lol.
