Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: "Roberto Capucci Art Into Fashion"

I would love to see more of his work. His structural designs are so beautiful. They appeal to a sense of order.

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

It would be so nice to have Threads on DVD. I could clear off the sagging shelves of my bookcase that holds all the issues, beginning with the first. Of course, I am a little bit attached to those magazines. Most of them show wear from being read and used over and over.

Re: Book Giveaway: Seventeenth-Century Women's Dress Patterns

As a collector of old and new sewing books, I would love to add this to my library. I have been sewing for many years, but still like to find different ways to construct garments. This book is unique in showing the inner construction and design. Would love to be able to read it.

Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: "Designer Techniques"

This is like "Sophie's Choice". I don't know how to pick one. Madeleine Vionnet was a creative genius in the use of bias. When I read the question, she immediately came to mind.

Re: Book Giveaway: "THE VICTORIAN TAILOR" by Jason Maclochlainn

This book sounds like such an interesting read. I have been looking for a tailoring book that has the information about the way tailoring was done in the past. It would be a welcome addition to my library.

Re: Book Giveaway: Bags in Bloom

I love making handbags, especially when I get compliments from strangers. I am always looking for new ideas to expand my bag wardrobe. I make unconventional knitting bags as well. These are the bags I want to make but don't have the courage to carry as a handbag because they may be a little outrageous. As long as I call it a knitting bag, I am not self-concious. I embellish bags with bits and pieces of things I collect.

Re: Patterns for Gorgeous Gloves

After multiple tries, I too am unable to get the glove patterns to the correct size. Would it be possible to just provide us with the correct size patterns?
