Re: What sewing topics would you like to read about in Threads?

I would like to see a section devoted to beginner sewers. This past year I have started a small sewing group, mainly children, and I try each month to come up with "fun" projects that can be completed in 3 hours or less. I am trying to show my students how to sew without them knowing that they are really learning sewing techniques. I wanted the classes to be fun while passing along my love for sewing. In our classes we always say our projects are "funky," this way each student can feel good about their completed project.

Re: The Kermit-Green Jacket

Great Job Kenneth!

I too have been shopping the thrift stores and have found some really good finds! With a little imagination, you can transform the garment!

Re: Book Giveaway: "Horrockses Fashions: Off-the-Peg Style in the '40s and '50s"
