I love being involved and learning beside Cinnamon in the Sewing with Cinnamon classes. Each subject is helpful and unique and the videos are a good resource to use over and over again. But the individual course I found the most helpful was the one on knits. I didn’t really care for sewing with knits before, but the tips and tricks Cinnamon taught us helped me get passed that and I feel confident sewing with knits. Love it! I’ve also gone through the Beginning Sewing class, to refresh myself and see how to teach my daughters. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to do the same.
Thanks for amazing content!
