Every time I post about hosting sewing classes locally, I usually get a handful of emails or comments that people wish they were close enough to come join us. So, we got the idea to put together a "virtual" class so no matter where you are...you can join in!

Our first class is this (up there, that cute red bag!). It's called, The Tie Tote or Tie - Front Tote...because I haven't actually come up with a more clever name for it as of yet. It's a bag I have been sewing up for the better part of 8 years now. I know, right? Long time. But I get asked about this bag alot AND it's really easy.

This is a great bag if you are new to sewing and making bags. It will help you to get your feet wet and build your confidence. The class will have a private blog area for you to access the 3 separate video classes, loads of text to support what you will see in the video and also a place to chat with me and the others taking the class. (It certainly helps to have a budding film maker in the family - thanks Andrew! You're awesome!!)

This pattern will also be available in a full color paper version as well next month. It will be one of the first of the "mini-patterns" that I will be offering at a great price. So if you don't want to take the class but you want the pattern...hold your horses! It will be here soon!

Registration for this class will open up next Monday. That is, if I get all of the technical pieces figured out by then. Cross your fingers. I'm not between the ages of 12 and 22 so computer stuff does take me a little longer.

Hope you can join us!
