To Crofthouse: When you download the file...make sure to save it to your documents. I have a file just for sewing projects. This has been working for me. After saving it to your documents; try to open it on your computer to make sure it works. I don't save these type of files as a web link because sometimes the link is no longer available. Hope this helps.

To Threads: Thanks for the patterns.

Thank you for the article. I can really use this educational information.

I am a beginner at sewing again. Only had one class in Junior High School. So I would like to see more beginner articles and patterns to go with it. I agree with other members that repurposing older clothing to update my look would be helpful. Also, fitting for men's clothing is good. One article a month on the basics would be nice; ie., threads for different fabrics, etc. Lighting, workspace, organization, and uses for extra stash of fabrics would be appreciated. I look forward to learning new techniques.

I don't have a favorite sewing tip other than cutting thread at an angle to thread the needle easier. This is why I need this book.

I'm new to sewing again and would love this book. My daughter gave me a subscription to Threads magazine for Christmas. I am excited to sew again.
