I got their Craftsy class and fitting book (which has become my go-to guide), but it would be so helpful to have hands-on guide through the fitting process.Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013073315698648712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-54603357054306164262012-07-31T22:21:40.107-05:002012-07-31T22:21:40.107-05:00Great information and it's only part of what y...Great information and it's only part of what you learned. I don't have a desire to go back to college for a degree - nothing that I'm that passionate about. But I would love to go for a sewing/fit workshop such as this. Thanks for the helpful information. I'm tagging this post for future reference...and keeping this workshop in mind for my 'someday.'Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134869488264914428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-53245570568515285632012-07-27T22:25:43.910-05:002012-07-27T22:25:43.910-05:00Thanks for sharing all of this with us!
