Online historical sewing courses
So.... working from home means I need to think long term about what I am (not) earning and how to pay the mortgage off and save for working holidays and professional sewing & millinery workshops. I've been thinking about online historical sewing courses - is anybody interested? How much would you be prepared to pay to have me virtually side-by-side with you making your next outfit? Would you like one-to-one or a forum for a group of registered learners to chat and share knowledge? And what would you like to learn from me? It could be anything from Renaissance onwards....

Hi, I'd be interested! I wonder if you have seen the Craftsy website (http://www.craftsy.com). There are lots of courses on there and it might give you some ideas about pricing. They are priced by complexity really, so a sew along for a complete garment is more expensive than, say a short course on a particular technique. Craftsy has plenty of users, but I don't know how easy it is to get one of your courses up and running on there. The Burda website has some courses too. These are a little more expensive, but may give you an idea of pricing. I'm interested in the regency period (mostly as I am interested in attending a local event which is for this period).
Thanks for these ideas - I hadn't thought of them. I will have to wait until I return from our overseas tour mid year before I can start planning so it will be 2017 before I can start. I am teaching at Jane Austen Festival Australia in April http://www.janeaustenfestival.com.au and at the Internationale Barocktanztage in Potsdam mit Mittsommernachtsball https://www.facebook.com/events/1083421531691214/ .
I would be interested too, especially in a beginners level course to get me started as am fumbling around at the moment and hoping for the best.
