[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Need feedback from the sewers in the group.

[Carefree One]

Hello I would be interested in taking any class. I would love to learn how to make things with patterns with limited sight. Right now the only thing I know how to make is the. Bowl Cozy! I honestly don’t know a whole lot about sewing but I love what I’ve done so far.  I’d love to be able to understand how to use the different tools with my limited sight. Like I don’t get how to use a seem ripper. So excited!

> Chrissy, what kind of sewing class do you want: techniques or garments? I taught a class on making an apron which did not require a pattern. It could be repeated. That was a long time ago. Joyce and I both talked about a t-shirt class. I was worried about everybody getting the same pattern. The more I think about it, the more I think a plain t-shirt could be made from any plain t-shirt pattern. I just don't know how many people want to make a plain t-shirt since there are cheap ones in the stores. We could probably have a discussion about terms used in describing different styles of garments if people are interested. terms like princess style, empire wasteline, scoop neck, raglan sleeve. There are a lot more. I hate fighting with the Website, so I just don't do it any more.
