Re: Book and DVD Giveaway: Claire B. Shaeffer's "Couture Sewing: Tailoring Techniques"

I would love to win this as I have recently gotten back to fashion sewing and would love to learn more couture techniques to use on nice fabrics I purchased in New York. I have the desire to learn how to make the garments look more professionally made,learn more about linings and neater buttonholes and a better fit to my garments.

Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: What advice would you give to someone learning to sew?

Practice your craft or patten on scrap fabric first...that helps in understanding the pattern directions, your techniques and skills.

Re: Magazine Giveaway: What is the most exciting sewing destination you've been to?

My most exciting sewing destination was an all day trip to the fashion district in New York city---I was like a kid in a candy store--wide eyed and jaw dropped! SO many fabric store to browse through. I had identified a couple pre-trip BUT when were walking through I was almost overwhelmed by the number of shops and even shops that are just trimmings! Naturally went to MOOD ( my fave) but also fell in love with Paron! Found awesome designer fabrics at both for wonderful prices---can't wait to finish sewing with what I bought so I can replenish the supply!

Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: The April/May 2012 issue of Threads magazine!

I love the idea of making something with "endless options"--what a great concept normally but especially in this economy where people are trying to be more economical, frugal and less wasteful with what they have--this sounds like a financially creative winner to me--One Pattern, Endless Options!
