It seems the last year or two I've had an intense desire in my older years to learn more about sewing. I did not have the opportunity to study this field when I was college age and online resources were not available at that time. So now I am devouring all kinds of information. I can't seem to get enough! I have quite a few online courses through www.craftsy.com with some very renown fashion designers and seamstresses. I have one through Susan Khalje that I especially love and also two by Kenneth King. I just signed up for one by Janet Pray that teaches how to make a jacket with the Islander Sewing System. And I have a DVD course by Kenneth King on fitting. If that isn't enough I have DVDs on my TOL (top of the line) Janome machine and I have ten hours of embroidery digitizing lessons to view and absorb! I have several other excellent courses to view yet on Craftsy!
If I ever get through all this training someday I should get some sort of degree or certification! :)
I have two projects that I want to make after I finish my heirloom dress. One will be a jacket following Janet Pray's method and then the other will be an all weather lined three quarter length coat with a hood.
That will be down the road because I simply have to finish that little heirloom dress first!
But that's on hold for another two or three weeks yet. I will mention why perhaps later! Let's just say I'm excited to see two very special people in my life soon! :)
Thanks for reading,
