Let’s make something – 8 weeks of super cute!

January 21, 2009 by Minnie 1 Comment

What a cute idea! I love this online craft class idea. Take two popular bloggers and purveyors of cut, mix them together, add an exclusive web site, chats and crafts and TA DAA! You have 8 weeks of super cute delivered to your door.

Here is the description of the class designed by Elsie of A Beautiful Mess and Rachel of Bling on My Sewing Machine

This is an 8 week class by Rachel Denbow & Elsie Flannigan. We are teaching this class together. There are projects by each of us and many that we have developed together!
The class begins February 15th and lasts for 8 full weeks. There are a total of 30 projects that are spread out evenly over the 8 weeks. The class is hosted on a private blog that only students can see. It’s a lot of fun and a great way for us to get to know each other! Each project includes lots of photos & step-by-step instructions (PDFs are included for projects with patterns!).

This list of projects looks pretty delectable but also a bit daunting. Do they have nothing else to do?!? Like breathe? or EAT?

Project List
(so you know all of the *fun* you are in for!!!)
1. Color Me Happy Rainbow Scrapbook
2. ‘X Marks the Spot’ Picnic Blanket
3. Felt Teepee Village
4. ‘Hide them Here’ Journal Covers
5. Not Your Grandma’s Doily Throw
6. Spring Buds Jersey Scarf
7. Family Portrait Felt Wall Art
8. Panda Bear Plushie

13. Happy Thrifties (Tips & Tricks for Reworking & Remaking Vintage Clothing!)
14. Vintage Tray Calendar
15. Hand Carved Stamp Tutorial
16. Springtime Apron Pattern

I’m tempted to sign up! It’s only 60$ and right now I feel VERY motivated to help out the entrepreneurs in teh craft world. You can find the link for the paypal button on either blog. Here is the post on Bling on My Sewing Machine. The other cool thing about this is that IT WONT SELL OUT because there is no reason for there to be a class limit. Supplies are supplied by the student so many people can participate and add to the experience. I think that’s great!

Independent Crafters Information

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well. If you are an Independent Artist or want to start a handmade business, this is the place to find resources. Or if you just love DIY's and everything crafty I hope you'll find some fun projects to make and be inspired by the artists I feature!
