Couture Sewing or Why I Love The Internet

Whoo Hoo, signed up for an online couture sewing class with instructor Susan Kahlje. Really looking forward to this as I have always loved couture and I have been following Susan for a long time. Class comes with a Vogue pattern and does not expire. Looking at the projects on the class page I see many people have already taken it and submitted their work for others like me to look at. This is fun - I love the internet - all doors are open.

I have made and sold mens tropical or camp shirts before. Have also sold many of my fabric bags and totes. I have sewn for over 50 years but have not really done couture sewing. In a day of get it done as fast as you can, does microwave brownies ring a bell, courture sewing is old fashioned. But I believe if you want something that is just yours - it is the way to go. I am really looking forward to designing my own fabric, using Spoonflower.com, to sew with - now that is "just yours".

Will keep you posted on the progress of this class as well as the quilt block of the month class with instructore Amy Gibson which I also just signed up for. All on Craftsy.com - check it out some of the classes are free.

Until next time,
May life treat you well,
Caroline
