VEN WAS TERRIBLE!! I think he should have gone home instead of Nathan! At least Nathan's client liked her dress. Ven's customer service was terrible!
posted: 10:50 am on August 29thI loved Gunnar's attitude this episode even if I thought the garment construction looked a bit sloppy.
Fabio had the most dramatic change and original dress so good for him for winning.
Ven just made me so SO sad.

My grandmother taught me to sew and I have been encouraged by my parents to be creative and grow my skills. Being taller than average has kept me sewing clothes so I get the fit and length I want.

Bra making and sewing spaces sound the most interesting. It is always a challenge to keep everything organized for me.

Dresses for me too! As well as some knit shirts that go beyond the average tee shirt!

My Grandma taught me to sew the sleeve in before sewing up the sideseam. It makes things so much easier most of the time. The second most useful was press as you sew! Makes things look so much crisper and finished.
