I've followed your blog for ages, but I never had any occasion to wear such a special dress to before. I know that your craftsy course has expired, but I was wondering whether you know of any other way I can access your tips for the dress. Is it in any of your books? I'm not sure that the Burdastyle instructions will cut it. Thanks!

I didn't try all the techniques, as it was only a costume, but I will be making another one for me at some point and I cant wait to try everything! I particularly love how much effort you put into explaining the FBA-I get so sick of doing them and your method was so easy! thanks!monkeysockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585860927875638867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-50913570943588984772011-07-26T13:27:02.552-04:002011-07-26T13:27:02.552-04:00I am so happy I found your blog!

I just watched the preview as well as a few samples of the individual lessons and I am totally wowed by how much work that must have been! But the result is worth it.<br />I am VERY tempted to sign up; the plethora of techniques used seem to make it worthwhile already. The only thing that makes me hesitate is knowing how precious little time that I have (not to mention how slow a sewist I am...) - and this seems like a huge undertaking... I'm not sure if I won't be taking on too much to handle! Will have to ponder over it a little more, I guess :-)<br /><br />It's also real fun to see you "talk and move", it adds a whole new dimension to the blog persona I've come to know :-) And, I was also very pleased to find out that I am able to understand you perfectly (I am not a native English speaker, and then there's the sewing jargon as well - seems I have picked up more than I thought by reading all those sewing blogs these past two years ;-) )<br /><br />I can see why you love your new freelance life so much - congrats!<br /><br />SabineCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-77711559702982454262011-07-08T16:07:49.741-04:002011-07-08T16:07:49.741-04:00I would love to take this course, but I am wonderi...I would love to take this course, but I am wondering how it would work out since I am deaf; I can't exactly benefit from audio, and I don't do well lipreading videos either...

And I mean, no garments under the belt (besides and elastic gathered skirt), but knowledge of the basic preparatory elements and sewing techniques.
