I am so excited to share with you that I am an instructor on Sympos Inc.’s web-site Craftsy.com! This is a huge honor to be chosen as one of their instructors and it was a wonderful experience. The fun began when the Crafsty film team flew to Portland from Denver the beginning of May to video me teaching the steps to create 4 veils, a fascinator and a garter.

They arrived at my shop in a rental van that was full of huge cases. I got nervous but Rachel and James gave me huge smiles and I felt alot better! The team began to unpack the cases and I was shocked to see what popped out:  jips, cameras, huge lights and lots of wires. I got nervous again, but Rachel, James and Will gave me big smiles and assured all would be great.

After three days of filming I was sad to see the team leave. I grew attached to my producer Rachel and camera man James (and Will too). They were amazing and so helpful.

The course has launched on Craftsy.com. See a peak at the trailor and you can even see a few mintues of my introduction, my fascinator class, and much more.

Thank you to the Craftsy team for making me feel at peace and totally myself while filming what I LOVE to do!

Here are some behind the scene snap shots of the video!

One of the cameras, see why I go nervous!

Bernia sewing machines were used for the video and they are amazing, very quiet.
