From Bolt to Beautiful
Do you ever fall in love with a fabric on the bolt, buy it and then become frustrated as you're trying to turn it into a garment? Hi I'm sewing expert Linda Lee and I'll show you how to work with challenging fabrics, from sheer to sequined, in my online Craftsy class You Can Sew That: Taming Tricky Fabric.

In these video lessons, you'll learn the best ways to handle different types of fabric, select the right needle and work with special feet. And because you're learning with Craftsy, you'll enjoy a front row seat to every stitch, and you can ask me questions along the way — so you don't move on until you're ready.
 
 
To begin, I'll show you how to sew openwork, sheer and tulle fabrics. You'll also learn how to cut smoothly, sew seams without jams and hem these unique fabrics beautifully. I promise, it's easier than you think!

Up next, I'll share tips for making your special occasion garments look like a million bucks. The secret is all in how you work with beaded and sequined fabrics, and I'll walk you through the techniques you need to bring your most elegant pieces to life.

Faux fur, velvet and pile fabrics are so much fun to sew, but many times we shy away from working with them because they can be a little temperamental. In this lesson, I'll show you how to choose styles and sew these specialty materials for consistently great garments.
 
 
Want to add a rugged touch to your next piece? I'll demonstrate how to work with modern waxed, laminated and coated fabrics, and even faux leather and suedes. You'll learn why these materials are better than ever and how they can add a stylish touch to almost any project you undertake.

There's a growing demand for stylish workout wear and we'll learn how to meet it in our next lesson. Master techniques for sewing activewear fabrics including neoprene, scuba knits, athletic mesh and super–stretchy swimwear, so you can stay chic while you sweat.

In our last lesson, we'll take a look at high–performance outdoor fabrics that will protect you from cold and wind. From hard–finish woven fabrics like Ripstop to popular polyester fleece, you'll be ready for anything with my tips for working with these high–tech materials. Enroll in You Can Sew That: Taming Tricky Fabric today, and never be afraid of wasting material or jamming your machine again!
 
 
I focus my career on uniting the two worlds I love: sewing and fashion. Looking back, I think it's safe to say I've come a long way since selling felt hats in sixth grade! Now, I own the Sewing Workshop Pattern Collection, write for publications like Stitches and Threads, and pop up on the occasional HGTV show. I'm also excited to be back for my ninth Craftsy class!

There's truly nothing better than teaching adventurous sewers the skills they need to conquer amazing projects and build confidence.

Take mysterious fabrics from bolt to beautiful without the heartache in between! I can't wait to show you how.
