Thank you! <br />And I also purchased a few patterns - Sweater set, yoga pants,... and the DVD set - Little Black Dress Book of Sewing. Not sewn yet, but want to! As for videos - I agree, she talks a lot. There are 3 Techniques videos in the set are filmed when she was young and I am not "in love" with them Even though I could pick a few good ideas from there. <br />My One and Onlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700711978794092858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-39595685633416366382013-05-29T06:36:52.185-07:002013-05-29T06:36:52.185-07:00I find it interesting that we sewers often complai...I find it interesting that we sewers often complain about the Big 4 not providing finished measurements on their pattern envelopes. Peggy provides the finished measurements, and folks complain there are no body measurements........go figure! I have the Darts DVD, but not the two others. Thanks for the review. I have made up the yoga pants and Love, love them.

I tried a Silhouette pattern years ago. I understand the premise about selecting a pattern based on finished garment measurements. But, I think I'm bigger than the woman Silhouette had in mind when they drafted the patterns. The top I made needed lots of tweaking and I'm not up for lots of tweaking.<br /><br /> I bought a DVD - Basic Pattern Making - and it does provided lots of good information. I watched a few of the webcasts, not live but from the website. Sagers has lots of information to give, but the questions that come in during the webcast are distracting to me. People ask about her accessories and other off-topic questions. That's why I bought the DVD. If I continue to do business with Silhouette, it will probably be through the DVDs.Elarayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487492651398001387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-32761913823590206992013-05-29T04:57:13.592-07:002013-05-29T04:57:13.592-07:00I totally agree with you Audrey.

I've been a bit intimidated and don't really have any leather shops locally. I think I'll definitely give it a go. You're right, I was shocked to find out how expensive exotic leathers were. Wow!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055410123914346485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-67838460361549978902013-05-29T04:03:00.030-07:002013-05-29T04:03:00.030-07:00I bought the leather DVD and thought it had had so...I bought the leather DVD and thought it had had some good information, But it contained a lot of talk. I really expected more demo's, like actually sewing different types of leather. Because I have sewn several leather garments and read a lot on the subject, I thought the DVD was a bit light on subject matter. And boy does she like the exotic, expensive leathers. I do appreciate that she provides free webcasts on many different sewing related topics and will probably stick with them, rather than buy her DVD's, in the future.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.com
