      <title>Sulky Teacher Certification 2011</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
	<img alt="" src="http://www.sewsimplified.com/Data/Sites/1/mypictures/dscn4138.jpg" style="width: 413px; height: 296px;" /><span style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>
	I received the 2011 Sulky Teacher Certification after&nbsp;3&nbsp;days of intensive training with Diana Gloystein and Sue Moats.&nbsp; Diane and Sue are both&nbsp;National Educators for Sulky of America and are extremely knowledgeable, talented and lots of fun!&nbsp; All the ladies in the class were absolutely some the nicest ladies I have ever met.&nbsp; We had a great time.&nbsp; I was disappointed that Hurricane Irene had to come and pay us a visit.&nbsp; The next time, I should stay at the hotel and for an extra night!!!&nbsp; But, I had a nice time spending time with friends after the classes.</p>
<p>
	The 2011 Sulky projects are incredible!&nbsp;&nbsp;You do not want to miss them, so be sure to sign up for <a href="mailto:Michelle@SewSimplified.com?subject=My%20Sewing%20Friends&amp;body=I%20want%20to%20be%20your%20sewing%20friend!">My Sewing Friends</a> list.&nbsp; Now I have lots of UFOs and great videos and webinars to offer.&nbsp; I think the new classes has a&nbsp;little something for everyone and all skill levels.&nbsp; There are several projects for quilters at heart too!&nbsp; If you and/or your best&nbsp;sewing friends&nbsp;are planning a sewing or quilting retreat&nbsp;to the Deep Creek Lake area let me know.&nbsp; Or, if you and your friends want me to teach a licensed Sulky or Martha Pullen class in your area, we can work something out.</p>
<p>
	I am offering the webinars to stores only, but all webinars are announced on my website and everyone is welcome to attend.&nbsp; Download this <a href="http://www.sewsimplified.com/Data/Sites/1/documents/certificateofappreciation_noexp.pdf">Certificate of Appreciation</a>&nbsp;and present it to your favorite shop.&nbsp; When they mention the certificate, they will receive a special offer from me for the Sulky webinars.&nbsp; Videos of all the Sulky sewing&nbsp;classes will be available in my store (coming soon) as they are ready.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Sew long!!!</p>

	Now that I have a couple downloadable classes under my belt, I have become better at the process and have found ways to make it even better for you.&nbsp; So, I am in the process of revamping the downloadable files.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you purchased a class, I will notify you when&nbsp;the updates are available so&nbsp;you can download the new files.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	For now, I am gearing up for the success for this new class and&nbsp;webinar.&nbsp; Not only will webinar attendees have access to the same type of wonderful files I have made available in the past, but there will be even more, including a live recording of the webinar.&nbsp; So, if&nbsp;something suddenly came up, you can still watch the class and have access to me.&nbsp;&nbsp;All you need to do is register.&nbsp; <span style="display: none">, i</span></p>

<p>
	I started working on the next class, Sew Fabulous Pinweaving featuring a block taken from Loralie Designs' fabric&nbsp;"Sew Fabulous" collection.&nbsp; Pictured is the original project I completed in the Sulky Certified Teacher class.&nbsp; I don't show you the whole image because the dog really ate the bottom portion of my project.&nbsp; I'll save the details about this project until another day, but for now, I will tell you that this is FUN!&nbsp; The pinweaving technique is versatile enough that you can apply to a variety of other projects.&nbsp; It adds so much interest to a project with dimension and texture, and certainly breaks up a mundane background.&nbsp; People will think you are a magician!&nbsp; So far, I am changing one little part of the original instructions only because I want to use what is in my&nbsp;stash so I am incorporating ribbon in lieu of the small border around the portrait.&nbsp; In the meantime, stay tuned for more on this Sew Fabulous project!</p>

      <title>Sign Up &amp; Save This Weekend - On The Go Travel Tray</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<div _yuid="yui_3_1_1_3_1307793427111104">
	Sign Up &amp; Save <span class="yiv1085307939yshortcuts" id="yiv1085307939lw_1307793452_0">This Weekend</span> - On The Go Travel Tray<br />
	<br />
	While I am working hard compiling the video for the On The Go Travel Tray, you can save 15% off the class this weekend only.&nbsp; This offer expires Sunday at 11:59pm Eastern time. And, if you act now, I will send you a supply list so you can pick up a few things while you are out this weekend.&nbsp; Best of all, if you purchased Fuse 'N Stitch to make "Not Your Grandma's Bowl" you can use it for this project as well.<br />
	<br />
	The On The Go Travel Tray is a licensed Sulky class that is quick an oh-sew easy to make.&nbsp; This is easy enough for a beginner to make, including children an advanced sewers will still have plenty to gain.&nbsp; I do recommend that children be supervised while making this project and operating a <span class="yiv1085307939yshortcuts" id="yiv1085307939lw_1307793452_1" style="border-bottom: #366388 2px dotted; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; cursor: hand">sewing machine</span>.&nbsp; The On The Go Travel Tray would make a great gift for the special men in your life, just in time for <span class="yiv1085307939yshortcuts" id="yiv1085307939lw_1307793452_2">Father's Day</span>.&nbsp; My husband really appreciates it when I make things especially for him.&nbsp; You can really change the appearance of this tray simply by using different types or themes of fabric and different closures.&nbsp; This project is also a great "stash buster."&nbsp; This tray is practical and makes a great gift.&nbsp; While attending the Sulky school, this was our first project and I had to finish it first.&nbsp; It was wonderful to use in the classroom to hold threads, bobbins, presser feet, seam ripper, needles, etc.</div>
