I think it's time to step up my sewing skills and this looks like a good start to learn how.

I love how your mind works! This is such a great idea, thanks! I'm going shopping for a piece of railing.

When I watched Project Runway, I realized how important it was to learn draping when designing clothes. This book would be a welcomed lesson and reference.

I love the looks of silk ribbon embroidery and would love to learn how to stitch it. There's something soo special about hand stitched design work.

Recently I was given a bag of upholstry fabric samples. I'm going to make lots and lots of pillows.

One thing I love is reading all the useful tips that everyone sends in. I used to love sewing my own clothes but hated hemming because my thread used to always twist, knot and break. Running the thread thru beeswax has solved that problem and now I don't mind hands sewing. Another tip is to keep an empty pill bottle with a cap near your sewing machine or notions box to safely put those barbed, broken or bent needles until you're ready to throw it out. Cap it securely, throw it in the trash and start with a new bottle.

I'm always looking for new idea. This issues looks like it has some exciting new ideas. I would love to have it.

It seems that I am not alone on thinking that it was such a travesty to see Gretchen win. Mondo should have won hands down! It was his designs that made me want to watch the show each week. He has that something that made you want to see what he would creat next.

It seem too sad that the judges would eliminate Andy for not keeping to his "warrior woman" designs which were not so wearable, yet they pick Gretchen to win because they thought her designs were more wearable? I don't think I would venture in a part of a store if I had glanced over and saw her collection merely because the drabness would not beckon me. Where as Mondo's design and color would draw me in.

I was so happy to have a program about fashion when PR started since all the other 'how to' shows were all gone. But the show has gotten sooo bad with all the trash talk and back stabbing. They need to realize that sewers are a different breed. We're not inspired to watch because of the drama. We watch because we crave and are inspired by creativity and beautiful FASHION whether it's wearable or not!

Project Runway should take note of all these comments. You may have had alot of viewer but like many others, I too won't be watching if you continue the show the way it's been.

I love what you did with this tapestry fabric. What is the straps made of, leather or another fabric?

It's always nice to learn different ways to add interest to a garment. It's even nicer when it a familiar method. Adding the underlay strip is done almost exactly the way I learned to add a zipper, how great is that?!
