Why I Love Craftsy for Sewing (And as a Mom!)
I remember hearing about Craftsy many years ago when I was early in my sewing journey. I didn’t have a large sewing budget so I had to pay attention to what I paid for.
Back then I bought a couple of sewing classes to watch at home, and it opened up a whole new world for me. I could afford a class or two when they were on sale, and I could continue my sewing education and learning while having babies and toddlers crawled around me. It was so uplifting, and I was happy to review all the classes I took and loved.
Craftsy was sold and became something else, but then it was shut down. I was devastated since I felt like Craftsy really added to the online sewing community. I was so ecstatic to hear that another company bought Craftsy and would be returning it to it’s original glory. I couldn’t wait to take my beloved classes again while trying new classes.
If you are a beginner sewist, or a sewist trying to find ways to improve without spending too much money, this is a great website to use, learn, and improve. You can pay a yearly fee to have access to all of their classes or you can buy each class individually. It depends on what you are looking for.
I love that Craftsy gives access to high quality online classes for a really great price!
I love Craftsy as a mom because anytime my kids are interested in something, we can go on and find a class for them to watch. Baking, embroidery, crochet, photography, drawing, painting, etc.: Craftsy has it all!
If your kids are bored this summer or you homeschool your kids this is a great way to give them access to learn from experts from home. It would be fun to take a class with each kid so they can learn with you and give them some one on one time!

Craftsy Sewing Classes
I have taken a textiles class in the past, but this class was so eye opening an informative. I learned about which needles work with which fabric, the best way to cut each fabric, and how to work with different fabrics. I loved this class!
When I first started sewing, I just made whatever I wanted but never loved what was in my closet. After taking this class it helped give me direction in my sewing so that everything I made I loved!
I actually haven't taken this specific class about fitting (I took one in college), but I know this class is highly recommended. It's a great place to start with learning how to fit.
This is a step up from the other fabric class. It is all about those tricky fabrics, and the best way to work with them.
