I don't sew for charity either. I do other things for charity, but I am not going to sew for charity. I do not have time for it. I do not like being asked either, at ASG meetings and such.

For me personally, I do not think this is a useful gift for me to give. I would rather donate food, supplies, and other things.

A tie for my son--(this is not a cliche gift, he really does like ties!) and probably pj's and Lilla Tueler slippers for my daughter. Cats--they get catnip mice.

I have seen braids on grown men, especially from the 70's--haven't you? I thought he looked like a Viking too.

I hope Viktor sells that pattern, for the jacket. When you really look at it, its just a basic pattern--but the braiding he did on the top was really nice.
I would like to sew pleather if it looked that good. It has always scared me that it would look like Walmart if I tried to use it.

I also liked Bert's design. The rest were really bland, and I don't see how the tunics looked so horrid, they are as easy to sew as a pillow case. No fitting, nothing hard about them. What was up with that mess?
Some things were too bland, and some too garish with cheesy trims.

I would like to learn boning. I want my skirts and "corset" type tops to stay polished looking, instead of being crumpled!

I like any book by Taunton Press!

A magazine of techniques! I want one!

I have always wanted to learn draping. The only draping I have ever done was a piece of newspaper on someone's head to figure out how to make a cone hat..so as you see, I could use some lessons ;)

Oh! I just got a Miracle Stitcher off Etsy! The bag on that cover would be a perfect project to try it out!

I would like to learn how to use the machine's other features, instead of just doing 4 thread "default"!

Count me in, I want one too!
