I am retired from teaching and spend my time now following my interests in sewing, art and nature. I love to ride and my beloved horse is 22 this year. A perfect day for me would involve spending time with my husband, playing with my 2 jack russell terriers, riding, a little bit of gardening and a whole lot of sewing.

I have so many caftan patterns, and would love to have the perfect fabric to use. I am petite, and many bold prints are lovely, but too much for my frame. What fun to start with a fabric perfect for me!

What a generous giveaway! I love the idea of being able to learn new techniques, and to review old ones. I live in a rural area and do not have access to quality garment instruction except online. These DVDs would be so welcome in my sewing room.

Lots of great articles but I am most interested in "Make it Your Way". I love to see different interpretations of the same pattern.
