I LOVE fashion, was an art major in school and subsequently, transferred that passion to the sewing world. Self-taught since 1971, I learned from sewing shows on television, books and magazines. "Threads" has always been a major part of that educational journey; I've learned so much. Love the site!

Re: Book Giveaway: 'The Perfect Pajama'

I live in Indiana, inspires me to make pajamas similar to those beautiful silk ones Katherine Hepburn wore in her movies! This one's going into my library--Good luck!

Re: Giveaway: Simplicity Bias Tape Maker

I love to create distinctive garments, one-of-a-kind. Self-bias is one my favorite ways to finish a garment.

I am also self-taught, majored in art in school but wasn't interested in sewing until I became pregnant years ago and wanted new clothes. With my budget, decided making them myself was the way! A good friend helped with the first maternity dress. By the time I delivered another close friend asked for all of my sewing garments when SHE became pregnant!! Then, I knew I could sew well enough for others, this was over 36 years ago, and I'm still doing it!!

With my background in art sewing was an easy transistion. THREADS magazine has been instrumental over the years in the evolvement of my sewing skills, I love to sew, it is so relaxing. I still have and use all of my magazines for tips and ideas, but in addition, I absolutely LOVE the website.

Hope I'm one of the winners, sew on, sisters and brothers,
sew on!!!
