Did you know that you can merge your paper crafting love with your sewing love? And....if you don't yet have a love for sewing, this class will kindle that love for you!
Most all sewing machines will easily go through paper and cardstock, which makes it a perfect tool to use in your papercrafting. It adds texture, visual interest, secures items to layouts and cards and so much more. And don't forget simple hand stitching!
This class will have you looking at paper crafting and sewing in a whole new way. (click on pictures for larger view)
From August 30-Sept 3, a new "Sew" Papercrafty! PDF file will be loaded to the site. And, you'll use these over and over again!
* 5 days of techniques and instruction: You'll learn how to use your sewing machine and some hand stitching techniques to create pockets, paper ribbons, borders for scrapbooking and card making, paper quilting, anchoring buttons, using fabric on your papercrafts, making embellishments and more! The possibilities are endless!
* Full color, step-by-step photos - each day's project will feature photos of every step of the project so that it's easy to understand.
* Detailed instructional tutorials
* Supply lists for all techniques
* Extra sample photos of multiple multiple projects - You'll see how different takes on the same project can yield diverse and beautiful results.
* PDF files so you can print out the tutorial to keep in a binder to go back to every time you'd like to create these projects again!
* Video tutorials showcasing techniques you can use on your projects. For many people, being able to see the technique makes it easier to duplicate it.

Hey erica, this is something that I have been wanting to attack.. but alas zero SEWING skills... about time I learned.

Love the idea of combining two of my favorite crafting activities: stitching and papercrafting. Would really, really enjoy having a peek at your tutorial. I've got my fingers crossed, so maybe I'll be the lucky winner. Thanks for the inspiration.

I just love "crafty" sewing. I cannot believe how addicted I have been to die cutting fabrics and using them to create projects that I normally would create out of paper. Lately I have been using paper to create fun sewing projects as well - they are just too much fun!
Posted by: Lynn Larson | August 19, 2010 at 05:02 PM
How fun this would be. I love paper, fabric and all crafts. Would love to be the chosen winner. Love your blog. Lin

Well I just bought a new sewing machine and would love the motivation from this course to get me started using it for my paper crafting. Thank you for the chance to win.
Posted by: Diane G | August 19, 2010 at 09:00 PM
Oh wow! I love using my sewing machine with my papercrafts - unfortunately, I forget to pull it out sometimes and realize after everything is glued down that I should have sewed on it. Thanks for the chance to win the course - keeping my fingers crossed that I win!

What a lovely idea. I've got a sewing machine and would love a chance to win this course!

Sounds like a fun class! I have been sewing since I was 10, which was a really really long time ago ;-) I'd love to win the class. My hand-stitching is really rusty and needs a brush-up.

Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to participate in this giveaway. Wow! I love sewing so maybe I can incorporate this technique.

I love your beautiful creations. I have not seen many cards that are sewed on. I have a sewing machine and used to make my own clothes when I was a teenager because my parents didn't have the money to buy what was in style so I just made my own. I have not used a sewing machine in years now but I know it still works. I think this would be cool to start doing. I would love the chance to take your course.

Way cool. I've been wanting to try sewing with my stamping and just haven't gotten to it yet. This would be the perfect opportunity!

Would love to win this course--I haven't sewed much in a long time.
