I’d love to take a Pixie Faire course on photographing dolls in our awesome Liberty Jane outfits. I’m ok at it but not as good as I want to be. But learning how to design couture for our 18" friends would be FABULOUS!

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!
