Ginny I was just looking at your web site and I see you do have 2 videos I might be intersted. They are called the "best of threads" Vol 1 and Vol 2. Ot is there a book that might be good too. I'm interested in basics such as how to set in sleeves, buttonholes, zippers , pockets, darts, hems for starters.

Viktorya Thanks for the circle vest/jacket in the new issue - I just cut out a muslin, adjusting ratios and totally excited to make it in a sheer scrunchy fabric. :)

Deborah Hyde Berthiaume Some people run 5 miles, I sew and get the same high.

Karen I am grateful for my grandmother, who always sewed for me and taught me to crochet. My mother taught me to sew and was such a perfectionist about it! I am grateful that she taught me fundamentals and that doing it RIGHT the first time was really the time-saving way in the long run. I am also very grateful for my rot...ary cutter and mat. Can't imagine piecing without them!

Mona McClendon I'm thankful that my Mom taught me to sew, knit, crochet, embroider and so much more. She always encouraged creativity in everything and I've tried to pass that on to my children. She's gone now but I still have her with me in everything she taught me.

Judy Persson I'm most thankful for my sewing buddie "Marglit". Even though I moved hundreds of miles away we still try and stay in touch and talk "sewing stuff" on the phone.
