Um, I LOVE Me a 45% Discount, Yo.

This past year, I taught a series of online sewing classes–and loved, loved, loved every second of it.  I thought that teaching online would be a cool complement to teaching in person, but I learned that it’s so much more: it’s a new way of sharing something I love, a hugely inspiring chance to connect with people, a way for people who can’t otherwise take a sewing class to learn to sew and quilt and create on their time and in their home.  It’s been completely amazing and the most fun I can remember having in a long time.

Next year, I have a whole year of classes planned, and I can’t wait to share them with all of you!  I have been so grateful to have made some real friends through these classes, and to have had students who were so pleased with learning to sew online that they took multiple classes–we spent a big chunk of 2011 together, and that meant so much to me.  This last year was tough!  Looking forward to hearing from people each day and each week made some of the tough times a little easier.

I’m totally hoping to have the same experience in 2012: to offer classes that fill a need that isn’t being met, to get the chance to teach something people are really itching to learn, and to make a bunch of new friends in the process.  These are online sewing classes, but they create such a cool sense of community, and when folks take more than one, there’s this awesome continuity.  Can you believe I had two American students living in Oslo who met each other in person and now are sewing together on a regular basis–all because they took an e-course together?  How cool is that?  Each sewing e-course is taught in a password-protected online class space using video, audio, PDF downloads, and plenty of personal interaction.  I teach one class at a time and cap enrollment to ensure that students really feel as though they’ve had the chance to ask questions and get to know me and one another, and to really dive into the sewing at their own pace.  I have some cool new things up my sleeve for 2012, including a DVD option so you can review the material at your leisure after the course is over, and I’m itching to get going!

In hopes that even more of you can take all the sewing classes you’d like to take, I’m offering a deal through the end of the year: take ANY of my 2012 e-courses for just $99!  Most of these classes are priced between $109 and $179–buying one early saves you between 10% and 45%.  That’s HUGE!  By buying an advance ticket, you’re locking in a super low price but also giving yourself the freedom to pick and choose the classes you want to take–you can even share your classes with someone else and take a class together!  Or just give it as a gift–how awesome would YOU be?

Here’s how it works: click through the link below.  Put the $99 E-course deal in your shopping cart.  This is not a down payment–this is the FULL PRICE of the class when you buy early!  Adjust the total number of e-courses–as many as you like at this price, with no limit (not only do I want you to be able to take lots of classes at a super steep discount, but I want you to have the freedom to share the love, so I won’t be limiting the number of class passes you can purchase; you’ll need one class code per class you take in 2012).  You’ll receive a unique class pass code, which you can save and redeem for yourself, or can give to someone else (there’s even a gift certificate option that you can print and stuff in stockings or email to the one you love).  When the class you want registers in 2012, redeem your code!  Easy-peasy!

2012 Sewing E-Courses include:

• Essential Sewing (all the core, foundational sewing skills you need, and the only class I’m offering twice next year)
• Sewing for your Home (plenty of pillows, slip covers, bed linens, shades, table settings and more for everyone!)
• Sewing Clothing for Kids (super popular in 2011, and includes SEVEN free kids patterns for boys and girls)
• Essential Quilting (takes you from afraid-to-choose fabric to a fabulous finished modern quilt)
• Pants (that’s right, y’all: PANTS)
• Five-Piece Wardrobe (work your way through five awesome patterns, and learn higher-level sewing skills as you do!)
• Happy, Happy Holidays (tons of holiday decor and crafts, with plenty of time to get it all done before Santa arrives)

And who knows?  Maybe I’ll sneak another one or two in there, just for fun.

I’m SO excited to start these classes, and cannot tell you how much I love teaching them.  Check out the happy student reviews from previous sewing e-courses:

This is the most fun! I got to meet people, and Deborah is so great. It’s like taking a class in person, but in your PJs–I can’t say enough good things about this e-course!

Kim, Georgia

Indeed, I would…take another WhipStitch course again!  [Sewing with Knits] taught me to overcome my “fear-o-knits” and I’m really quite pleased about that.

Ginny, California

Thank you SO much for everything, Deborah!  I cannot tell you how much my confidence has grown since starting the essentials class.   You are an excellent teacher…I hope to be back for more classes in the future.
