Hello! I hope you all are enjoying your summer! Did
you have a great time at Rita's Pool Party? I wasn't there because I was
working :( So I hope someone will be kind enough to send pictures so I can post
them on the Blog.
Have you noticed some changes on the Blog?
We have some advertisements. We currently are using Craftsy and
Amazon. While Craftsy is mostly known
for their amazing RIGHT NOW knowledge on the how to sewing in video form that
is streamed from the sky to your computer screen. Amazon is known for books, music, videos,
sewing tools even. Just like our
Advertisers in our Newsletters, they are there to make money for the
chapter. And anyone who has been on the
board can tell you the money is not much.
Especially now when the advertisements are so new…and on the internet…oh
my so strange to so many of us right? If you want to buy a book, click on the
Amazon logo, if you want to take a class at Craftsy click on the Craftsy
logo. Click on it just to check it out,
and see what it is all about.
I currently am in the beginning of taking a class from Crafty of
Jean-ius! With Kenneth D. King. I choose
that one because I am working on my jeans pattern from last year’s ASG
conference and wanted all the jean knowledge I could get! I am also taking
another jeans fashioning class at this year’s ASG conference. This is my first
encounter with a Craftsy class and with King and I like them both! The Craftsy
class allows me to rewind as often as I need to if I didn’t understand
something, or when I was too slow taking notes. The visual and sound quality of
the video is excellent. I love that I
can pause the video, or skip something. I really enjoy it.
There are so many wonderful classes to choose from at Craftsy I
hope you will try it out! I am sure you won’t
be disappointed.
Till next time,
Keep sewing!
Bonny D
