Morning! I hope this post finds you warm and well. It's turned very chilly here, time to find my slippers to keep my toes warm whilst sat at my desk! I am delighted today to review a new online sewing class with you, courtesy of Trish at Two Peas In A Pod. Trish contacted me recently to ask if I would like to review her new tie front tote sewing class and of course I said yes.
I love the concept of an online sewing class but was concerned how it would work regarding the pattern. However my concerns were soon eased by clear instructions from Trish on measurements for each piece required. She even shares her own personal tips which makes it more personal and like you are attending an actual sewing class. The sewing class for the tie front tote is split into three seperate lessons, which is perfect if you are short on time and like to work on a project in stages.
Two Peas In Pod Patterns are available in their Etsy shop very soon.
The instructions are clear and concise and each class is accompanied with a video, again making it feel like a proper sewing class and not just you trying to work through creating a bag from a pattern. Trish explains at the start of the class that yes there is actually rain in the first video and her cat even makes an appearance! I love the fact that you can stop and start making your bag, watch the video over and over to check you are doigng it right. How many times have you longed for somebody to actually show you how to do something when following a pattern? I know I have often wished for some actual help on several occassions! I really do think this might be the way forward in craft and sewing lessons and think the course is worth every penny.
Available very soon in Two Peas in a Pod Etsy Shop
