I think in a way that catalogs and chronicles things in some sort of order (by topic? by chronology? by skill level?)... it's just how my brain works. It makes it challenging to know exactly how to proceed in a way that works for my mind and my audience. I've learned that it's not just a matter of which skills to film first. So many people are self taught sewists, that, in my "chronicle everything" mindset, I really felt it necessary to go back to basics because there are simple foundational skills that I go back to each and every day. 

The first course I put together, Stitch Beautifully, is all the things you would have learned in Home Economics about sewing (assuming you had that class!). It took me forever to put together, and later another course creator had this to say about course creation:

She goes on to say that we need to stop making 🧙🏼‍♂️Tolkien-length 🧠 brain downloads 💾 and call them online courses.  (😳It's almost like she was calling me out, personally!)

I've kind of fallen in love with the process of creating a micro course "Action Lab" because it's short, sweet and to the point and very applicable information.

Since Foundational skills are SO important, I took part of Stitch Beautifully and turned it into something way smaller... Action Lab: Oil your Machine!
