Were you surprised when the judges had all positive feedback for you?

I was so shocked to hear them say something good about what I had done ... surprised ....

You say at one point that you don't think the judges will like your garment, but you don't care -- was that true?

I was at the point in the game that I started to not care what the judges had to say about my work, so I truly didn't think I cared what they had to say. I guess I was wrong.

You won! What was your confidence level like after this challenge?

To those who can understand: Remember the feeling of never doing anything quite right ... in front of all your peers ... are told it's not good enough? Then on the day you least expect it you do something so right and it takes you by complete surprise. I was on a high and was ready for whatever challenge came!
