I read something online this evening that really m

I read something online this evening that really made me think about paying to learn to sew.

Bear with me here........

So, people often say they cannot afford to go to a sewing class, or that they do not have enough time.

These are usually the same people who carry on struggling to teach themselves at home and every few months post online in groups saying how they can't make things fit, or they are getting disheartened and don't think they have it in them to be able to sew.

If you are one of these people put yourself in this position.

You go to the shopping centre/mall and are looking for an outfit for a special occasion and you have £100 to spend.

How many outfits do you try on that do not fit right, look unsightly when you put them on, looked fab on the hanger but terrible on or are just not right?

Probably about 8 or 9 until you find the perfect outfit.

So if you are making clothes and you are teaching yourself the same thing is going to happen. The difference is you have to make 10 outfits at considerable cost and potentially never wear them before you get your perfect outfit.

Lets say each of those outfits costs £10. It will undoubtable be more because we all know fabric is not cheap (not to mention the time it takes to make).

You have spent £100 to get 1 outfit.

So if you buy from the store it's £100 and you don't have to make 8 or 9 things before you get your final garment. it's an afternoon shopping at most in time.

If you make the perfect garment it's £100 + a whole heap of time, disappointment, frustration & angst before you get your perfect garment.

NOW:-

Here is the big one......

Spend £100 on taking a class and walk away with the perfect garment without trying on or making 8 or 9 others. All in one day!

What you also walk away with is the skills and knowledge to be able to make more garments that will also fit you properly.

Sometimes it's all to easy to say you do not have time or money to take a class.

Take a deep breath and think it through.

I bet you do!

What are your thoughts?

Yeah!!!!! Thank-you to everyone who enjoys my chan

Yeah!!!!! Thank-you to everyone who enjoys my channel.

What do you want me to film?

It took me 11 years of continuous learning, trial

It took me 11 years of continuous learning, trial and error to become a self taught, proficient sewer. ⁠
⁠
You might really want to learn to sew but not have much time to take a course at a college, you might even want to make a bit of a business from your makes.⁠
⁠
I’m guessing you don’t want it to take 11 years!⁠
⁠
Perhaps a few short months would sound better to you?⁠
⁠
I developed my online sewing club, to super fast track you to sewing mastery in the blink of an eye because I know how hard and frustrating it can be … because I did it the long, hard way! ⁠
⁠
The sewing club has everything I could have wanted when I was starting out, in one convenient location, for a low monthly investment … it's less than the price of a daily cup of fancy coffee! ⁠
⁠
You get … ⁠
⁠
🎀 Detailed video tutorials⁠
⁠
🎀 Well written clear instruction sheets⁠
⁠
🎀 Fantastic support forum where I am always on hand to answer your questions⁠
⁠
🎀 A community of fellow sewers you can get to know and interact with⁠.⁠
⁠
The doors are closing TONIGHT! ⁠
⁠
⁠
We have 150+ members and rising, who have already put up their hand and jumped on in.. don't get left out.!⁠
