Re: Win a Copy of Smart Fitting with Kenneth D. King on DVD

I have not sewn for myself for years (I used to make all my clothes) because my shape has changed such that I have not been able to fit myself. All the books I have tried have not helped me. Perhaps seeing it in motion and with KK's view of fitting, I will be able to sew for myself again.

Re: Enter to Win a One-Year Subscription to Threads!

I received Threads magazine for years and then let my subscription lapse because I could no longer afford it. I still can no longer afford magazines, but I would love to see Threads again. Thank you.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Improv Sewing"

I'm always looking for "patternless" sewing projects, esp. for clothing. This book seems like it might have some things I'd like.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Quilt Love"

My first projects were 3 pillow tops, each in a different pattern. I quilted them on my sewing machine. The one that turned out the best was the double irish chain one which was good as that is a pattern I like. I have done some full quilts since that time but I enjoy the smaller projects more. This book may have some ideas for me. Thanks for the chance to get it in a give-away.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Industry Insider Techniques with Louise Cutting Volumes 1-4

I am mostly self taught, though I did used to hang over my mother's shoulder when she sewed. I mostly quilt now as my clothes sewing skills need some help. This would be a great way to learn
