Oh my gosh! There are so many new Craftsy courses this spring that I am in inspiration overload! I am so addicted to these classes that I have a bunch lined up to get to. I always browse through the lessons as soon as I register but I haven't been able to start the projects yet...and I can't wait to! Here are some new sewing and quilting classes that I just couldn't resist!
Marcy and Katherine Tilton - The Ultimate T-Shirt: Fitting & Construction - I signed up for this one because I am determined to make a wearable garment myself! I really still don't consider my self a person who knows how to sew. I think it's very different from quilting and I have zero confidence when it comes to pattern cutting and construction. Speaking of which, one REALLY COOL thing is that when you register for this class, they SEND YOU the Vogue pattern for the shirts free!!!! I think that's really neat - no printing off a ton of pattern pages to tape together. You get a 'real' pattern to use and keep! The sisters make it all look so easy and I can't wait to try.
Joe Cunningham - Pattern-Free Quiltmaking is another class I had to join right away. This one was a real breath of fresh air - not only because Joe Cunnignham is a male quilter (and I DO 'know' a few male quilters who are amazing - Jose, Denis, Eddie, to name a few!), but because he is FUNNY! He definitely has his own technique and style and he shares it all in this class. I can't wait to have more time to watch every single lesson and get started on some of his fun class projects that break the rules and use a process instead of a pattern to make a quilt.
Strip Your Stash - if the title doesn't get you, the technique will! In this class, Nancy Smith shows the no-stress way to make your own fabric panels by sewing together strips of fabric. She has tricks and tips for getting straight seams with no fuss - she doesn't even press them until the end! Once the strips are sewn Nancy shows all kinds of projects to make with the resulting yardage, right down to the last scrap! This class is going to be FUN! Sometimes you have to bust your stash and this will be a great way to do that...as well as relax at the machine and simply sew. Can't wait!
It's obvious that I love to learn new things and love having Craftsy to teach me. Take a look at any of these new classes using the links above or check out what's on sale here. I am sure you will find something fun to learn!!!!
