Re: Project Runway All Stars: "Finale Part 2"

Hurray! Mondo won! I personally love the round pockets dress. Would love to make one for myself.

Re: Choose the Correct Pattern Size

I was horrified to learn that according to the chart I am size 18! Then I measured myself and the paper pattern - it was really huge for me.
There are some patterns that are true-to-the-size and some that you need to take upper bust measurements and adjust the bust line later.
Would anybody know the list of those pattern-makers?

Re: Project Runway All Stars: "Good Taste Tastes Good"

Hate seeing Michael win again!
Mondo, please, step up!
Kara should have been sent home! Period!
April is not quite mentally there, she is very young and insecure.

Re: Project Runway All Stars: "Patternmaking for Piggy"

Loved Rami design, not Michael's (really?!), will miss Jordana.... The challenge was quite silly, though.
And why the call it All Star? I expected to see more of the best designers from last seasons.

Re: Project Runway 9: "Finale - Part 2"

My husband and I joined the Runway show somewhere in the middle. We were impressed with the Georgian girl - Irina. She was a true talented designer and she stayed true to herself throughout the season.
And every time there is something disappointing! Gretchen??? Are you kidding me?! And Mondo.... I think Viktor just repeated his mistakes this season.
I don't know what judges saw in Anya's work - it is just a spa collection. That's it. Would she be able to make something else? Who knows. Maybe she will use the money she won to go to school, to Tim's class...
Very sad.
I am not sure I want to watch any more of the shows.

Re: Project Runway 9: "Finale - Part 1"

Yes, Viktor should have the Victory! And I hope he will. He is talented and skillful.
But LT wants to have a popularity. So, we have to watch many different people on the show.

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

Hello, Thread!
I am a returning sew-er. Every time I go to library or at the store, I always check the magazines. Really love it. The only thing... I am a little timid to starts sewing again - in 20 years there are so much new supply/fabric/you-name-it on the market and in technology.
I slowly started building up my sewing room. Good thing - I have a toddler and can practice sewing for her first.
Your giveaway might give me so much needed confidence and knowledge.
Thank you.
