I love Craftsy classes!!!! I have taken classes from Angela Walters, Leah Day. Tara Rebman, Sarah Fielke, Beth Ferrier, Anita Grossman Solomon, Cindy Needham and then there are also the free classes. Would love to take the Travel Organizer class with Annie Unrein. Thanks for the chance.
I have always wanted to try one..and this bag would be perfect !!!
I’ve taken a few Craftsy classes, mainly on FMQ, but also one that is a basic serger class. I’ve learned so much!
I am taking one about writing knitting patterns!
I have never taken a Craftsy class, but I havalways wanted to! Wgat a wonderful opportunity, thank you Craftsy!!!
no, i have not yet taken a class but have several free ones saved and many on my wishlist, mostly crocheting and sewing (both of which i am trying to teach myself at the moment)
I love Purse Palooza. I have several classes I’ve taken and loved the idea you can go back and review anytiime.
I love Craftsy classes. I own several and love that you can go back to see them at any time!
I’ve taken the Leather Bags class and Brett Bara’s bag/purse class. I love the format and would love to take more classes like the one on knits!
I have taken several Craftsy classes: sewing, quilting, knitting, and cooking! They all have been excellent. I don’t have this class, but I would love to take it! The Sewing with Knits one is one of my favorites. So helpful, and the included patterns are great.
I would love to win this class!
Angela Walters dot to dot, FMQ! Creative Serging, Camille Roskelley’s classes, Mastering Paper Piecing, Joanna Figueroa Simple Fresh Quilts, Quilt As You Go Quilts, BOM 2012, Leah Day FMQ quilting a quilt sampler, some I haven’t finished all the way yet but love the classes!
I have won a couple of classes but have not yet watched them. Shame on me – but I now have a better laptop so perhaps the videos will play better so I will give it a go again!!!
I’ve never taken one before, but there’s a first time for everything and I’d love to!
I have taken many quilting classes, a couple knitting, and THIS one, which is fabulous! If you want to make a bag, try a craftsy class! It makes it all simple!
Yes, I have taken their beginner quilting class. It was really helped eliminate a lot of the fear I had about starting a new hobby.
I’ve taken many Craftsy classes. One of my faves is Joi Mahon’s fitting class.
I’ve been eyeing this craftsy class but haven’t taken it yet. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sorry forgot to add I’ve taken the Tinker Frog tote class and several others on Craftsy.
I haven’t taken a Craftsy Class as of yet…been tempted many times 🙂
Never taken one before.
I have taken several classes and have a few more in my basket just waiting.
Craftsy is such a great resource, whether it’s looking for patterns, ideas or instructions. Love it!
I’ve taken one craftsy class on finishing techniques for sergers. I haven’t finished it yet. I had to retake the surger basics class from my the sewing machine where I bought my serger. I guess i need to use my serger more often so that I don’t forget how to thread it….
I;ve never taken a Craftsy class, but think I should!
While I haven’t taken a Craftsy class yet, this class would be a great start.
I’ve never taken a craftsy class, but I keep meaning to. I have half a dozen marked.
I too love Craftsy and I think they could help me get over my fear of making such travel organizers. I’ve made purses and would love to make travel organizers, but they just look a little challenging to me. Hmm. Guess I definitely need to take the class. These travel organizers would be most helpful for my family, and I’m sure they’d make great gifts too!

I’ve taken most of the free classes and have bought free motion quilting a sampler, which is brilliant, and simple fresh quilts.
I’ve taken so many Craftsy classes over the last 3 years, I can’t list them all. Most of them are sewing but I’ve also done paper arts, crochet, wood working, and drawing.

I’ve taken a few of the free classes, but never purchased one.
No, I have never taken any Craftsy class.
So far I’ve only taken a couple of the free classes, they taught me so much when I first started. I had no clue how to sew anything or even try to before taking them. I’ve been saving up for this class and the leather class. I refurbished some really nice leather that I don’t want to ruin so I’m hoping maybe..hopefully I’ll get the leather class for Christmas. Having a learning disability I wouldn’t have been able to learn to sew without these types of classes, and to be able to keep them, rewind and pause them when needed isn’t just a convenience it’s the only way for some people to learn. Thanks to them I’ve made some really nice bags..feeling proud
I Have taken a zipper basics class and a paper piecing class. Wish I had more time do to more.
I haven’t yet, but just signed up for a couple of freebies. Wanted to check them out before I commit. This one is on my wishlist.
Ohh – I would love to take this class! I’ve been admiring that organizer bag and thinking it would make a great Christmas gift. I’ve taken a couple mini-classes at Craftsy, on basic quiltmaking and on making copper rings. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have never taken a craftsy class.
I took a Craftsy class on Free Motion quilting. It was very helpful.
I have not taken any Craftsy classes, but I’ve saved several “free” ones. I’ve heard so much about their great quality and the ability to watch the video whenever and over many times. I really need to buy one!
I haven’t taken a Craftsy class yet but am excited to try it out.
I loved Bagmaking Basics! After watching the videos I made 12 zip pouches for my kids and nieces and nephews. It was fun! I’ve also taken Strip My Stash. I still need to make something from that class. I have some ideas but haven’t got to them yet.
Thanks for the chance to win!
