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.

My 11year old neice has been wanting to come visit me so I can teach her how to sew....she is still playing with dolls and Barbie dolls and this would be perfect for all her interests!

Practice your craft or patten on scrap fabric first...that helps in understanding the pattern directions, your techniques and skills.
posted: 10:12 pm on November 8thRe: 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!

I would love this because I am now back into fashion sewing and am trying to elevate beyond a follow-the pattern pattern-- I would love to learn to step outside of the box and incorporate "MY" style by studying the true artists of the fashion world

I would love to learn how to drape properly--possibly a top to start and eventually get into a dress...anything that is unique is appealing to me

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!
