Approximately 2 weeks prior to the "Start Date" you'll receive an e-mail from either the teacher or the Cloth Doll Connection letting you know what supplies you'll need. (Checks will need to arrive first.)

Do I have to be online at a certain time?
The Cloth Doll Connection will upload the class the day before "Start Date" and you will receive a "Welcome" e-mail telling you how to can access the class with the password provided. You don't need to be online when that happens. Once you are available you may start.

How does the password work?

Nope.... You have your class instructions and you may work at your leisure.
