Link to the 'sewing category'.  So much from which to choose.

I decided to go for Alison Smith's tailoring guide.  I have saved it, but wonder if it will expire after 4 March.  Anyone know?

Thanks for this link. Just the thing for being stuck at home snowed in! I'm watching Fearless Knitting and it's interesting  :wool:

I've had several emails from them but when I click on the link I get an error message. I wonder if it only works in the US? Or only on Windows machines? I've had problems before when they offered me a class for $15, i tried to buy it and it was charging £28. The helpdesk person got back to me & gave me a code to buy at $15 but I then got error messages about not working on mobile devices, so as I use an iPad I haven't been able to access it.

Just finished watching the Elizabeth Hartman Dwight the Deer and Born the Bear class ...

Elizabeth Hartman Class

Excellent stuff, she talks quickly (New Yorker ???) so packs a lot of info and good hints and tips into the tut.
I liked her a lot (probs because she cuts and pieces a lot like me ... or is it I cut and piece like her??) and would heartily recommend it to anyone undertaking any of her patterns @Lowena !!!!

There’s a speed button at the bottom left on the Craftsy platform. It’s a life saver when you get a slow talker for a teacher or want to get through classes quickly for some reason.

I watched the Alison Smith on tailoring, but it was part of a series and didn't cover what I hoped.  I am looking for speed tailoring, but nothing in the free offering.  I also downloaded a fitting class, but this is entirely devoted to trousers and I got bored in about 10 minutes.

I watched the same one @Iminei very interesting I thought. I'm dying to do her Seahorse creature ( I love seahorses and always wear a seahorse pendant and earrings ) I fancy a seahorse quilt.

trying to watch 'Painting Pictorial Quilts' but its a bit like ... well, watching paint dry really ... -<

Onto another ... tho' I haven't really got my heart into it at the moment ... feel decidedly yuk! and non ...

Haven't done anything to any projects since the snow hit which is a shame as there's all this time to fill and I have got deadlines but my vavavoom has ...well ... someone (mentioning no names ... ahem Imself) has stepped on it and squished it!
