It's the Threads Fitting DVD Series. I feel like this is one of those must have references for your library. Sometimes I feel like I need more than words and pictures in a book. I need a real person showing me the how-to's of fit and pattern alteration. I want to feel like I'm in class being taught by experts in the field. I want to know if there are things that the book may have left out. Once I've received and viewed the DVD's I will post a review on it. Believe me if it's not worth the $100 + shipping I paid for it I will most definitely be returning it. I hope it it's returnable. hmmm
I worked on my J Crew trench knockoff all weekend and it seem like I can't get passed the sleeves. No matter how much I try to evenly space out the gathers I can't get it to set in right. It keeps coming out slightly puffed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this? Will I have to trim the sleeve cap? I just want to be done with it so I can move on to the next piece for my "Ode to Carolina Herrera" wadrobe, a pencil skirt made up in a beautiful black and white geometric print stretch cotton fabric.
I also purchased a new iron this weekend since my one year old Rowenta died on me. That's right, I said one years old. I know Rowenta is suppose to be a phenomenal product but after my experience with it I just went out and bought a T-fal Ultraglide. So far it's okay. I have to play around with it a little more. I still have my Panasonic cordless, which I love, if this new one doesn't work out.
Hope to have something to show soon!!!

I cant wait to hear your review!!!!
yeap, I was wondering about that thread fitting series and I can NOT wait to see your knock off version, I love that coat, I can't wait for you to share your details
Ugh! I just lost my previous comment so here it goes again. You have my sympathy on the sleeve ease issue. I hate when this happens. Do you walk your seamlines with the side of a measuring tape? This has proved immensely helpful to me in determining ease amounts. No more suprises! Unfortunately, it won't help the current projects, but I am interested in seeing what others have to say about ease solutions.
I am waiting for your review too, I have had my eye on that dvd set for a while.
I just got the boxed set too, and have watched the first two on the Torso and Arms. I have been really impressed so far and have picked up a lot of techniques to try!
Please, please, please review...I need to know if it is worth the money so I can either buy it or stop it taking up valuable space in the "whatif" part of my brain
