Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: "Famous Frocks" by Sara Alm and Hanna McDevitt
This would be so fun to have. I think I would like to create the Stevie Nicks looks for myself. I love the bohemian sheek look. My daughter would go for the Audrey Hepburn patterns.

This 2nd part, along with the 1st part is a great demonstration on how to make a customized dress form. Thank you Threads. I love being a part of this community!
posted: 4:13 pm on December 27thAre there any tricks to prevent the form you have demonstrate from becoming lopsided? Does it matter if it is not perfectly smooth?
Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: "Sweet Stitches from the Heart"
I don't care how much a machine cost...machine embroidery will never surpass the beauty of hand embroidery.

Thanks. This is so helpful and you taught it very well. I can't wait to try this! Would preparing a form for a man use the same process? I am beginning to make suits for my husband and think it would be a great option for tailoring jackets for him as well. Additionally, are pant forms ever made?

My daughter, a first year college student, has made lots of new friends. Over the fall break we plan to make some travel jewelry carriers for all her new friends.

I love to learn. I would love to investigate how the construction of clothing has changed and remained the same. This knowledge will enhance my skills as a seamstress and I would love to pass along this knowledge to other sewing enthusiast that I know.
