Recently, I received photos and other graphics from the Craftsy class I taped in August.
Seeing these
photos for the first time was pretty exciting and reminded me all over again
why I accepted their request to teach this class. This new age of internet has
made learning so accessible and affordable for everyone, no matter their
station in life, and I am pleased that I can be a part of it.
We now call it information overload, but when I was learning to sew, this kind of specialized information was hard to get, if not from family or friends. Where would someone go to find someone willing to “show” us how? As a teenager, I knew of a Russian woman in town that was a clothing designer and I wondered if she had something she could teach me? I was shy and insecure, and didn’t know the questions to ask. I only knew I wanted to learn.
I hope that anyone would be able to ask me. I invite you to ask me. Perhaps you don't know the questions either. This can make a project class (like those offered at Craftsy) so perfect. We learn by practice and doing. Even if you have been sewing for a long time, discovering a different way of "doing" is also of value. Remember that there are many roads that lead to Rome.
