I got my email and attached PDF, just noticed it a little earlier today (btw, I was one of those that preordered). I hate I missed the pattern sale today...I have at least 10 jacket patterns, but feel I need the exact one you will be using, LOL. Off to check out the video!
ReplyDeleteI missed the sale at Joann's but that's cool! Just happy got another tut to help me on my sewing journey! Thank you Mimi for all that you do!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I've been looking for tutorials that last couple of days.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for this since I pre-purchased the course. Can't wait to get started.

ReplyDeleteHave never sewed before......
Buying my Singer machine Saturday....
Purchasing the Blazer tutorial this weekend....
Just spent $400.00 on three blazers and still have to get them tailored......This is where I draw the line :-)
So excited to be part of this wonderful sewing community that has a wonderful founder!!!!!!!
I'm so impressed your work and garments!!! I was wondering if this course is geared for people who have never sewed before sewed basic things? Also I was wondering if I can by this course at any time or is there a time frame?
ReplyDeleteThanks so kindly
Mimi, do you mind sharing what pattern is used for this blazer?
ReplyDeleteI have done a few projects but I was wondering if this would be too advance for a beginner?
DeleteI think it's genius that you are starting to offer classes. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteDo you need a dress form to fit the blazer??
