Price alert. Today’s blog is about Make Workshop, a magical place in the Big Old Apple where how-to lessons for cool indie stuff abound. I say price alert because while the classes are not outrageously priced, they are a little on the outside of our usual price range. Classes start at $60 and can go up to $350 plus the cost of supplies. But wait, before you tune out, check out the titles of some of the workshops they offer: wallpaper making; pattern making, revamping your wardrobe, shoe making, letter press workshops as well as more standard fare like embroidery, sewing, knitting, soap making and much more. Pretty slick, right? And as much as I applaud people who teach themselves, sometimes its just easier to have someone show you the way. But, if you can’t quite make it to New York, or if $60 a class is just too steep for you, go ahead and pre-order Make Workshop creator, Diana Rupp’s book, S.E.W.: Sew Everything Workshop, scheduled to come out in September.
