Improvisational Quilting for Garment Sewists E-course – $79 pay-what-you-can-afford
This course is priced in a “pay what you can afford” structure. While I believe this is a very high value course, I understand that we all have different economic situations. I also believe that sustainable living should be something that’s available to everyone and sustainability is at the heart of this course. For those reasons, I’m offering the course in a “pay what you can afford” structure. Click here to see all price options here.
Are your scraps taking over your sewing room and causing you stress? For those of us who sew and want to live a sustainable lifestyle, finding new ways to use our fabric scraps can become overwhelming.
After years of sewing and saving scraps, I created a method of improvisational quilting that uses my scraps to make something useful and is fun and relaxing. This process of sewing is a great way to take a break from the technical aspects of garment sewing, and get in the flow of making. With this course, you'll learn all the basics of making a quilt and gain a fresh perspective on your scrap bin.
How does it work?
This is a blog style course that uses a combination of video, image and text to teach you everything you need to know to sew your own improvisational quilt. While the course is detailed and comprehensive, the lessons are broken into bite sized chunks so that you can learn as quickly (or slowly) as you want.
You will receive lifetime access to the course. After you purchase the e-course, you’ll receive an email with a download link. The pdf download will then give you instructions for accessing the private site with the video lessons.
