I'm still learning how to fit garments. I'm trying to remember if I have taken a formal sewing class (other than my sewing machine orientation class). Taking a sewing classes or workshop is on my bucket list.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782386414185682598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-55950381791443277052012-10-01T01:24:34.727-07:002012-10-01T01:24:34.727-07:00It looks like wonderful fun!

I think hands-on classes are better, but the class was ok.<br />Oh, wait, I did have home-ec in high school. I'd love to take some classes to expand my creative skill set! I think first on my list would be a bra making course.Andreahttp://satinbirddesigns.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-64954488320511148982012-09-30T17:33:34.829-07:002012-09-30T17:33:34.829-07:00Ah, so jealous of you all who have creative events...Ah, so jealous of you all who have creative events to go to! I have taken two workshops. One was a failure (for me, everyone else did very well!) one was a success. The difference was in the way the classes were structured. In one, the instructor made the rounds and stopped to talk to everyone in turn. That was good for me. The other was unstructured, and the people that asked for attention were the ones that got it. Not so good. Moral: if you decide to attend something like this, be sure it fits your learning style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-47271616886261519412012-09-30T17:06:59.640-07:002012-09-30T17:06:59.640-07:00Oh I LOVE Walk Off the Earth as well!

Pentatonix hinted that they might be back in the Bay Area in January (I think they said Berkeley, but it was hard to hear over the screaming fans....)<br /><br />Maybe you, like me, inherited body blueprint aspects from our fathers? My Mom had the great shapely legs, the lovely bust, the feminine bone structure. Dad had the short, stocky, athletic build with thin red hair & freckled skin. Guess who I took after?<br /><br />I'm deciding that it's never too late to learn, and I'm definitely going to be pro-active at adding some sewing classes/workshops to the schedule this year.Jillybejoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010866113928621691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-53646419250705227152012-09-30T16:57:08.787-07:002012-09-30T16:57:08.787-07:00indigotiger it sounds like we could have almost be...indigotiger it sounds like we could have almost been separated at birth!

I am so ...Thanks SO much for your report on AIF!!! I am so sorry I missed it this year, so I am especially happy to read about it. Yes, gurl, next year you must come on time! <br /><br />Having said that, I can tell what a great concert it was. I listened to the song on their website as I read the post. They remind me of my favorite (similar) group, Walk Off the Earth. I took my girls to see them on tour when they passed through San Francisco in June. Now I'll have to add Pentatonix to my list of groups to watch.<br /><br />I didn't take sewing classes until I started taking classes (in my 20s) at Canada and Sewing Workshop. Up until then I learned from my mom. I was a good technical sewer, but nothing fit me. I had no idea how to fit so I sewed straight out of the envelope and I was far too busty (even then) for the clothing to fit. My mother, a size A cup, was no help at all. All she had to do was shorten sleeves an inch, maybe increase the rise a bit, and she could pretty much sew right out of the envelope. (She was tall, thin, long waisted and leggy.)

(I so wanted to take wood shop and metal shop, which were compulsory for boys) <br /><br />I almost flunked sewing, not because my skills were so poor, but because the teacher did not believe that I had done the work myself, and thought that I took it home and had my mother sew it! Truly, by seventh grade I had been making (relatively simple) dresses for myself for several years, and the class projects were far more basic.<br /><br />I would dearly love to take some sewing related classes, I'd like to learn to more fully utilise my serger, and have a personal sloper to draft patterns from, and it would be so much fun to learn new techniques... I dream of things like "Design Outside the Lines" or a workshop with Natalie Chanin, but anything like that will remain forever fantasies, being far far beyond my self employed artisan budget... indigotigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138062915837868713noreply@blogger.com
