Virtual Workshops

LOTS of added information is available in virtual workshops that you would never get attending an in-person workshop. Some workshops also give access for a time period to all the associated videos. Another advantage of virtual workshops is that you don’t have to pack up your sewing things, haul and set up your sewing machine, and you have access to all of the fabric choices in your stash. These are two options for locating virtual workshops:

Creative Spark
