Oooohhh....I am sooooo envious! I took a 2-day class from her and loved every minute! You have really captured the experience of being in a class w/ her. I was lucky enough to have her drape a bodice on me! My friend and I were open-mouthed the whole time at the info she shared/taught. I want to learn how to use the blocks for making other garments and for adapting commercial patterns; we did not have time for this aspect. I was astonished at the sheer amount of information she conveyed. In our class she barely paused for a sip of water or lunch, though we certainly did. I bought as many of her books and patterns as I could afford at the time and I am glad that I did. I really needed to follow along in the pattern drafting book while she demoed the pants draft. We talked about having her come back; this makes me more determined to work on it! Thanks for your review! I am a Connie-convert: I was very skeptical about her before her lecture. Five minutes into it and I was SOLD!

I'm envious too! I just saw an episode of Sew Much more on DYI that featured Connie. I really liked her tell-it-like-it-is manner regarding the problems with commercial patterns. Butterick just came out with some of Connie's patterns, I can't wait to see them.

I too am a Connie-convert. I took a vacation to Tacoma and while there took Connie's three day seminar. It was great! Her wealth of experience and information is tremendous. Three days was just a taste and it made me want to go to more classes. What we need is a Connie University - where we could go for practice and guidance.

Lera -- I was also at the Connie Crawford seminar and was so impressed with how well your pants fit! I've been making all my bodice blocks: armhole princess, shoulder princess and darted blouse blocks. I used my shoulder princess block to create/copy a McCall pattern and it turned out great! It's wonderful to have something fit so well. I highly recommend Connie's classes to everyone!

I'm sold. She is coming to my area in fall and I definately will attend her class.
