Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: The New June/July Issue of Threads (#161)

Precision Plackets will be interesting to me because I have always admired the sleeve packets but never able to get them constructed as neatly as in retail.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Threads Magazine Archive, 1985-2011

I love every issue of Threads but unable to store all of the issues, having them on a disk would be wonderful.

As for Runway, I am pleased that they gave all of the ones selected a chance. Each of them had good products at different times.

Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: "Designer Techniques"

My favorite designer is Coco Chanel because her designs were timeless; as stylish and Chic now as when there were created years ago. She also encouraged the use of chains as hand bag handles and as weights in jackets to help them keep there shape.

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

History provided in this book reads as very fascinating and very interested to one who lived in the 40's & 50's and had little knowledge of this brand and its creative designs.

Re: Project Runway: You Can Totally Wear That Again

I agree with the judges that Michael C.'s was the winner due to the larger amount of work that he did but Mondo was very close behind him with creative color blocking.

I thought that Peach should have stayed and that Michael D. was the one that should have left. Peach's would have been fine if she deleted the ruffle and her sewing skills are good. Michael really did make an ugly dress look worse and the girl looked fat because the design added pounds to her.
