Sew-Alongs & Online workshops

What is the difference between a sew-along and an online workshop?

A sew-along is when a group of people all work on the same project. Instructions are distributed electronically, in bite-sized chunks, over a set period of time. The beauty of a sew-along is that participants don’t have to all be in the same location. They can use social media or an online forum to post questions, pictures or discussion points. Once a sew-along is complete, instructions can be accessed at any time via the links below

An online workshop is similar to a sew-along. The difference is that all instructions are made available at the beginning of the workshop, rather than being doled out a bit at a time. Instructions for each online workshop will be available for a finite time.
