Online DIY and Sewing classes for just $20!
A few years ago I took basic sewing classes and realized how easy sewing is! Trust me I’m no seasoned crafter. I run out of patience fairly quickly. There is a list of DIY’s gone bad in my rolodex. Encountering physics seemed a relatively easier task then learning how to sew until…well…I actually learned how to sew. Couple of days of basic sewing and I was off to making skirts and blouses.
But here’s the deal. If you’re like me and craving to learn how to sew, you already know that you have to reserve at least 8 hours to two full days of basic training. Unfortunately some of us do not have the luxury of spare time especially working moms.
Which is why when I ran into these online sewing classes I was like wow, this is pretty awesome! For just $20 anyone can learn the simple techniques of sewing at their own pace!
I’ve included the link to the intro video below. See what you think. If you like, you can buy the class here.
Brit+Co. offers additional training classes if you’re in the market to freshen up or pick up other crafting abilities.

DIY: This 3-Ingredient Serum Will Give You Thicker Brows
According to Wilson, “Apply a mixture of castor oil, vitamin E, and argan oil each night by rubbing it into the brow with a Q-tip or your finger, and keep it on until morning. Pay attention to the areas where you are no longer growing new or thick hair. It’s an old beauty secret we’ve been using at the salon to help clients achieve a fuller brow and even out hair. Clients usually see results in a few months.” A few months is a small price to pay for getting your brows back!
I can vouch for the magic behind castor oil. Get this: growing up, every night before going to sleep, my dad would apply castor oil to our eye lashes (by “our” I mean me & my 2 sisters). There’s a reason we ended up with thick lashes! These tips work! Lately my eyebrows have been slimming down much to my dismay. So I resorted to old school remedies and started the castor oil treatment on my brows. Within a week I’ve noticed a difference!
