We love September. The kids are back in school, the air is getting a little cooler, and all of our favorite autumn treats are back. And there’s no better way to spend a cozy fall day than crafting! We have some great classes lined up for this month, as well as a couple of new monthly classes we’re excited to tell you about!
First, we know that learning how to use your new Silhouette machine can be intimidating. We’re here to help! Starting this month, McKenna Blanthorn will be teaching a helpful class called Why Silhouette? This class is your perfect introduction to our different cutting machines and to Silhouette Studio®. We hope to see you there!
We’re also partnering with Michaels to offer a monthly premium workshop taught by Kelly Wayment. These Zoom classes will teach you all of the advanced techniques you need to know about your machine. They also offer smaller group sizes, which means you’ll be able to ask more questions and get help from Kelly as you create. Our premium classes will cost a small fee, but we think that the benefits are totally worth it.
Read on to register for this month’s online classes!

September 8: Why Silhouette?

There’s always one question we get from makers new to our machines: why Silhouette? This class will teach you the Silhouette basics, from choosing your first machine to navigating Silhouette Studio® and creating your first project. This is a monthly class, so don’t worry if you miss September’s session—we’ll leave the video recording here, and we’ll be teaching this course again next month!

September 15: Tie Dye & HTV Dreamer T-Shirt

Combining different DIY techniques in your projects is a great way to create a unique look! We adore these tie dyed shirts with heat transfer that Liz from the Pretty Life Girls will be showing us how to make. These tops are super trendy right now, and you’ll want to tune in to see how easy it is to create your own.

September 22: Vintage Halloween Poster Set

It’s never too early to start decorating for Halloween, or to start making Halloween décor! Carina Gardner will be teaching us how to create this trio of vintage-inspired posters using cardstock and vinyl. What a fun way to swap out your normal wall decorations for a little spooky flair!

September 29: Layered Heat Transfer T-Shirt (Premium Class)

Our first premium class features this cute autumn design. Kelly will be teaching us how to layer heat transfer, which can be difficult to do properly if you haven’t done it before. Our smaller premium workshops dive into technical, more advanced skills like this, and Kelly will answer all of your questions as you go. We can’t wait!

Being retired, the Fee is a bit too much I’m afraid.

Dulce, I’m not sure I understand your comment. Are the registration links not working for you?

I would love to see some of the Zoom classes scheduled for the weekend or weekday evenings – so the working Silhouette owner can participate in at least one a month. 🙂

Thanks for the input! Michaels does not schedule their classes on the evenings or weekends as far as I know, but all the classes are recorded so you can watch at your convenience. Check out https://www.michaels.com/classes for recent recordings, or go through their large playlist for Community Classroom on the Michaels YouTube channel.

All of your classes are offered when I am at work. Is there a possibility of being able to watch the Zoom meetings at another time? Will you consider offering classes in the evenings?

We don’t do evening or weekend classes. However, they are all recorded so you can watch the recordings at any time that’s convenient for you. We’ll try to post the recordings above once they become available.

Is it possible to cut out a custom shape for a sticker? I want to make stickers shaped like states. I would print my art on vinyl sticker paper on my laser printer then I want to be able to die cut around the printed sticker, which will be in the shape of Oregon. Is that possible to do with the Cameo?
Silhouette

Hi, Kelly! Yes, you can create completely customized stickers with your Cameo. Just find an Oregon design you like from the Silhouette Design Store & use the file to create your sticker. Check out our recent blog post on customized stickers here for more info! https://www.silhouette101.com/archives/designing-customized-planner-stickers-in-silhouette-studio
