    I have been looking for this sort of help for years. I shall keep practising until I improve and am able to express my ideas in a much better format than I have previously

    Very cool. My degree is computer science and now I make clothes for fun and teach sewing and digitizing. This was great.

    Yelen makes it look so easy. Just needed to add a happy little purse here or there. I am going to try this while I watch the video. Yelen is great. Thanks

    Here in the UK we have only one sewing magazine that focuses purely on dress making.So i decided recently to subscribe to your brilliant magazine. I have been sewing all my adult life, making most of my kids clothes for a fraction of the cost of "ready mades". Now a grandmother my daughter said she didn't want anything making for her daughter, which saddens me greatly.
    I spend alot of my time making existing clothes larger which usually works well.
    Thanks again for a wonderfully informative magazine.
