Sewing enthusiasts who want to try their hand at making Judaica have a new online resource: Sew Jewish’s Maria Bywater just became a teacher at the online learning site Curious.com. The site was launched just last year, and it was named one of Time’s top 50 websites. We’re kind of excited they invited us to set up a learning space. You’ll find three Sew Jewish video tutorials on the site now, with patterns and resources linked right in the video space. We’re also planning a series of all new videos just for Curious.com, and we’ll let you know when they’re up. Take a look at what’s at the site now:
