I have been receiving Threads Magazine for a number of years, and I love fabrics and sewing. Although I read about sewing, and attend lectures about sewing more than I actually sew. Inspecting garments in high end departments and designer and couture are a passion of mine. I dont do anything with the information other than think about it, and stay in awe of the way fabric can be manipulated and tamed. Classes, I like attending classes and learning about what can be done in a couture house, Dont really know what to do with my passion; but I love it occupying my mind when I give it time.

craft interests: embroidery, gifts, quilting, sewing

Re: Hand Understitching

Thanks for the detail in describing understitching. I needed a tutorial in my bag of tricks and Unerstitching is just what I was looking for.

Re: Oscar Fashion 2011

I, too, disliked Cate's dress. Too much emphasis on her bodice front; it bothers me that it looks like something is missing. I have not seen the round front close to distinguish anything other than a blank circle. All other details in dress are fabulous, but the circle totally leaves me blank....

Re: Matisse Fashions One of a Kind Fashions for Barbie and friends

I am having difficulty sewing a dress for a 25' doll, Vintage style... the dress involves a very wide skirt and needs to puff out dramatically. Any suggestions for resources... finding fabric that I can gather for the waist is also a problem. Your accomplishments with fine tuning draped blouses in miniature is amazing to me.
