The regular price of this class is $39.99. Craftsy runs special sales from time to time. As of November 4, the class is on sale for only $19.99. I am not sure when it will return to regular price.

Full Review
I have purchased or been given free promotional access to a number of different Craftsy classes on crochet, weaving, and spinning. I must say that I’ve been very pleased with the content of every class I’ve taken so far. The photography is crisp and clear, and the videographers know how to focus in on what the student needs to see close-up. The instructors also have a very in-depth knowledge of their particular subject matter. This class is no exception: Dora really knows her stuff!
The class features 7 video lessons that you can watch from your laptop, tablet, iPhone, Android-based smartphone, and even a smart TV with internet access. It’s so amazing watching classes on a big-screen TV! Dora will walk you through the steps required so you’ll end up a beautiful vest custom designed to fit you perfectly.
