Learn Industry Sewing Methods from a Master
|
 Once a year Janet Pray offers a 3 day workshop where she teaches the industry techniques that will take your sewing projects from "home-made" to the look of fine ready-to-wear. This class is the most comprehensive Islander Sewing Systems class available. The setting is intimate, with limited number of students. You'll learn sewing tricks and techniques during the day and learn even more after class while snoop-shopping at fine department stores and fabric shopping at Haberman Fabrics. Here is the link to details and pricing: Best Sewing Workshop Ever! Note: Additional 1/2 day class for those wishing to be certified Islander Instructors.

FREE - Janet's Sewing MythBusters
The more I teach industrial sewing methods the more home-sewing questions come up. For example why don't you press as you sew? or Why don't you use directional sewing? These and so many other well meaning sewing tips are simply "Sewing Myths". This happens so often when hobbies and everyday chores are passed down from one generation to the next. The information is thought to be correct and helpful but many times the person giving the information doesn't really understand it. That's where I come in with my FREE PDF download dispelling "sewing myths". Currently there are 11 Sewing MythBusters with several more planned. You can read about them as I write new MythBusters in upcoming issues of the Islander Sewing Systems newsletter, The Stitching Line and/or you can download the PDF from the home page of: IslanderSewing.com
