Crafty Crochet Embellishments
Linda Permann
I've loved this class since day one. Linda is charming, and teaches how to make cute edgings that add a handmade pop to any store-bought or hand-made fabric items. I've edged pillows, tops, and the tiers of my daughters' tutus. What a great way to make everyday objects feel fancy!

Sew Little: Nursery Design
Vanessa Wilson
Through working on Sew Little Nursery Decor with Vanessa (aka Crafty Gemini) I learned so much! I was always intimidated by ruffles, and now I know 3 new ways to make them! I also love that I can use what I've learned through this class to make valances, curtains, and cushions for my whole house. My dining room chairs are in for a makeover!
