Sewing Class

In December 2011 I signed up for an online sewing class.  It was the BEST decision I have made in regards to crafting.  Because of that class I have been able to accomplish more than I ever thought possible.  They taught me to think in different ways.  I am still working my way through all of the lessons and I'm sure there is A LOT more to learn.  If ever you want to learn to sew I highly recommend looking into this class.

Here are a few of the projects I have made because of this class.

My very first sewing lesson...a drawstring bag.  It's about as simple as it gets and I was SO happy it worked out so easily the first try!

I made a Happy Birthday banner.  This was so much more difficult than it seemed it should be.  It turns out sewing circles and curves isn't so easy.  I still loved the way it turned out and have used it at every birthday in the family since I made it.

This next project was so fun to make.  I had completed several lessons by this point, plus I had taken on some other projects (like capes) and it just didn't seem so hard.  Plus I was sewing straight lines.  What a relief.  I made a little supplies roll up for my sewing supplies.  It is so handy.  I want to make another one for the kids' markers and colored pencils.  How handy would that be?

I really recommend this sewing class at Home Ec Online.  You go at your pace and there is no time limit.  You can repeat projects as you'd like.  The only bummer is you can't ask questions; however, there are FAQ's that have already been answered.  It's a great place to start if you'd like to learn sewing.
