The Motor City Express Jacket and Craftsy Class



Creating a great pattern is quite an endeavor! Last summer, Janet Pray and her team worked diligently to create a pattern that was up to their standards. Finally, after many, many hours, the Motor City Express Jacket pattern was ready for a preview at the American Sewing Expo last September.
In November, Janet was off to Denver to to the filming for her brand new Craftsy class. In her new class, you will be using the Motor City Express Jacket pattern to,

"Create a trendy motorcycle-style jacket using the most efficient, effective outerwear tailoring techniques. Alongside industry insider Janet Pray, you'll start by choosing the perfect fashion fabrics and supporting materials. Then, interface and mark your included MotorCity Express Jacket pattern pieces for swift, successful construction. Customize your jacket's zippers, pockets and cuffs, and sew them beautifully without pins. Simplify the steps for easing your lining into your other pattern pieces. Apply facings to your sleeves and zippered pockets flawlessly. Breeze through ready-to-wear zipper installations. Add pockets and set-in sleeves stress-free, before learning how to line a jacket entirely by machine! Construct ready-to-wear jackets faster than you thought possible."

The Motor City Express Jacket pattern is available as a download for $15.00. Be warned, this is a rather large pattern to download. The pattern is also available in a hard copy version for $23.95. As much as I love downloadable patterns, this is one that I would rather opt for the hard copy version.
BUT WAIT!!!!!! Janet is giving everyone an opportunity to get the pattern for free and get the Craftsy class at a reduced cost of 24.99!!!! So, for the cost of the hard copy pattern alone, you will receive the hard copy pattern and the Craftsy class for $24.99!!! I think that is a fabulous deal. Just click HERE to enroll in the class and receive your free pattern.
I will be making my own Motor City Express Jacket starting next week. So if you're interested, please stop back by to see my progress. In the meantime, remember to vote for your favorite contestant in the Get Your Motors Running Challenge!

**I think that the issue with Craftsy has been fixed. My fingers are crossed anyway! If you have an issue with getting the class for $24.99, please let me know and we'll once again address it. Once again, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. You should be able to click on the link above and get your discounted rate.
