TUTORIAL: ONLINE CLASSES

This tutorial is about a wonderful source of online classes for every craft there is.  Even gardening is included in the course offering.  Most classes are $60, but I have taken five classes so far and have gotten them all for 1/2 price.  Very reasonable.

Here's the video link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-_AmacAHxE

If you take a sewing class, there will be a pattern included that you can print out on your printer.  It will look like this:

If you watched my video, you know that all the pages didn't print out at first.  Be sure you have all the pages!

Then you just match up the numbers.  I love to play that game anyway:  Cutting - pasting - coloring - finding the same and different.  That was always my favorite part of school. 

Okay -- you get all your papers printed.  Then you put the pattern pieces together.  You need scissors and tape.  You end up with actual pattern pieces:

Pretty neat, huh?

  1. Joy,
    I read most of your comments about your dress form. I had a similar experience with Fabulous Fit. I ordered the plus size but they sent me two regular sized dress forms. I have tried several methods to get mine to be right but have succeeded yet.
    I have tried just about every method to make a dress form. I am working on a new idea now.
    It is such a shame to spend so much money on something and it doesn't work. Linda W. Dean

    1. I sure do agree with you on that. Everything is so OVER-priced these days. Just saw a serger demo and it was $10,000!
      Insane! I will never pay that even though I could.

  4. Hi Joy, thank you for your Youtubes, I really enjoy your spirit. I'm starting to learn how to sew, however, I'm very frustrated. I purchased from SureFit Design the shirt and pants but I can't understand some steps. Maybe one day I could meet Glenda, or take her classes. I live in Miami Fl. Looking forward to see more of your youtubes

  5. There are DOZENS of videos at sure-fit designs.com. Watch all the ones on pants. It isn't hard. You will get it. It is dot-to-dot. Just use your special measurements. You can email Glenda Sparling and she will answer your questions. Or I will help if you can tell me what part you don't understand.
