Re: Project Runway 9: Come As You Are

Although we don't get the program here in Switzerland (I'm still trying to figure out if it's possible to get it via the internet?) - just looking at the pictures is enough though - Bert's outfit is the only one with a bit of polish....I presume you get Fashion Television in the States....have a peep at the Spring/Summer 2012 collections that are airing at the moment - there is "Farrah Fawcett" hair all over the place! As for Anya's pants....I'll remain polite and reserve my comments....that said that were a few too many of the 'dropped crotch' look for my taste in the 2012 collections as well...no thanks. Hope they expose Anya for the sham she would appear to be.
I think as sewers we make clothes to have, if nothing else, a better fit over off-the-rack, at least for me that is priority number one - a very, very close second is to better express who I am and what I like over what someone else thinks I should look like. Hope Bert makes it by furlongs over the others...and thank you Threads for allowing those of us who can't see the show to get at least a flavour of what it's about.

This looks like a book brimming with inspiration! Would be lovely to be lucky.....

Re: Peacock Dress

A real work of art - well done Judith!

Re: Pattern Drafting Software

These look great, especially Dress Shop Pro 7....just too bad they don't consider Mac users when they design their programs!! One little comment, you say that Dress Shop Pro 7 is $399, however when you actually go onto the site they say $449....or did I miss something? Hope software designers will soon wake up to the advantages of Mac....especially for more 'off the wall' programs like these, Mac is ideal.....Oh well....will just have to keep making my own adjustments in the meantime......
