I learned how to sew, what a service flag was, and more about the effects of WWII on people in Massachusetts specifically. Sewing is a skill that I will definitely use in my life. Nobody in our group knew what the service flag was until Joan explained it to us. I also had only learned about WWII in Hawaii, Japan, and Europe so it was interesting to learn more about it in a specific place. It was difficult to sew everything together because of the lack of thread and tough materials. We received feedback about removing snip its of letters and adding a hood representing "light at the end of the tunnel". We chose to incorporate the hood and took away the letters and added the flag.
