I would love to go back to school and take some sewing classes by experts. Unfortunately, there is nothing in my area in less than a 3 hour drive. I'm hoping to find some workshops in SF or LA to take advantage of next summer.

Hi there, I'm on a plane coming home from my lovely cruise! I was fortunate enough to have met Susan years ago when I was a member of Professional Association of Custom Clothiers. She wasn't as famous, but was quite accomplished. I also was fortunate enough to have taken a couture sewing class with her at ASGs Annual Conference 2 yrs ago. It was fabulous. She IS AN EXCELLENT teacher. I learned so much, including the hand picked zipper. I was like a fan! She allowed us to fondle her beatiful garments, some of which were in her book. She even let us take extensive pictures. I hope to take this class with you next year. One of my sewing buddies will be taking her class in Paris this year! Thanks for sharing!

PS: I've only taken one official class room class since I've reentered sewing (this spring) and even though that one was a disaster, I would do it again (with another instructor). Nothing like hands on.

Laura called me earlier this week and she was elated about this class! Thanks for these pics. If my sewing skills were on your level, I would have certainly been there. Another sewer recently showed me one of Kenneth King's books--I really enjoyed it. Easy to follow, nice pictures and it wasn't even intimidating for beginners like me!

So glad to hear of a worthwhile sewing class!! I have already contacted Susan K. Thanks for sharing your experience. I think, my sewing machine saving funds have been switched to sewing class funds.

I have never met KKing, yet, just from reading his book, I can tell he has a sense of humour, and then some!
Glad you are happy with the lesson!

I can't wait to see your daughter's dress as it takes shape. Taking expert-level sewing classes is most definitely on my list of to do's. I hope you get a lot of sewing done during the long weekend!

That sounds so amazing, it is on my wish list or should I say my someday list. Can't wait to see the dress.

2009-09-03T20:19:08.138-04:00

Taking this class was a "Bucket List" event for me on 3 levels:
1. Professional Instruction
2. Seeing the NYC Garment District
3. Making "blogger" friends "real-life" friends.
I, too, am saving my pennies, and taking every embroidery job I can to add to the piggy bank. You've summarized the experience superbly, and still owe you that latte!

I get chills just reading your post. Oh, how I would love to go next year. I've always found a way to do anything important. This kind of experience sounds pretty important to me!! I am convinced. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! You've caught it! I have had classes with Kenneth King in Toronto..........what a load of talent this man has!

That would be so awesome to take the class. Maybe some day as I have little ones at home. But I will keep it in mind. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us and how much you got out of it. It sounds very tempting.

I need to save my pennies for next year! I am truly envious.
I could not agree with you more about quality fabric. If I am going to spend a lot of time on a garment the fabric should be worthy of my time!

Such a class was already on my wishlist, and some day I will do it. If only such a class could be in Europe too. For the moment I can only be envious. Enjoying your posts about it and looking forward to more.
