The sewing machine is back in its case and is living underneath the table in my craft room. So...I would really LOVE to win this set. I really would still like to learn to sew! 8)

hollyelise writes: Everyone deserves this wonderful prize, but gee, I hope this time I am the lucky one! I would absolutely love to have the videos. I have a new sewing machine because i'm determined to learn soon, but it just sits there staring at me until i have some guidance. I never considered videos before learning about Teach Yourself to Sew. I want to design some "upcycling" fashions and projects (I've been sketching ideas for at least a year). I'm very committed in helping the earth and saving money, and in sharing the designs so others can do the same. First though, i need to get the sewing skills so i can actually make the designs in my head! :)

I am now trying to teach myself quilting. So with some help like this set, Hey who knows? I could get to love this stuff called sewing... Thanks for the chance..

sewtired writes: I started to sew about 25 years ago when my children were small. I just went out, bought a sewing machine and checked out books from the library, and taught myself to sew. I must admit that I did pretty good with children's clothes, my kids were the hit at elementary school. However, I have never been any good at sewing for myself. I can't seem to get the right size and forget altering the pattern. I would LOVE to learn how to sew for myself and the DVD program seems the right media to start with since I live in the country and going for classes at fabric stores would involve over an hour commute. Please Please Please let it be me!

AnnieInLa writes: Learning to sew has always been on my "bucket list" so I figure there's no time like now to start. I've been reading a lot about "how to" for years and think it's time to move onto creating muscle memory. Should be interesting to watch my learning curve, I'm thinking about blogging the journey, mainly to show others that knowing how to sew is a process of learning one skill at a time and gorgeous clothes are the accumulation of those skills. I must confess, to be completely honest, I do have some skills. I can sew a good looking button, thanks to the practice I've gotten sewing suspender buttons onto my husbands pants. I can think in 2D to 3D, mainly because I studied pattern making books (yea, I know, reading a book is VERY different from doing, but it helps to do some homework!;-) This is going to be an adventure of a lifetime, just wished I'd started 20-30 yrs ago. Oh well....

SEWNYA writes: My mother was an accomplished seamstress, but back in the days when we ironed everything we wore, she did not like to iron. So she would tell me that she would do the sewing if I would do the ironing. Well, I watched her sew and absorbed a love for well made, "custom made" clothes. I loved to hear the sound of her scissors cutting against the table (no cutting board). After I was married I was on my own to learn to sew by whatever means I could - a lot of trial and errors. The years have gone by and she is gone, but I still love to sew. However, in recent years I have had very little time to sew and have lost some of my self confidence. I would love some reenforcement with the videos.

It would be wonderful to spend more time sewing and less time researching how to (put in blind zipper... buttonholes... blind hems.. KICK PLEATS etc.) Oh, and to learn how to fit my oversized bust on my petite figure into a simple shift dress that actually fits -- heaven I say -- just heaven.

Mernick4 writes: I haven't sewn much for 20+ years. Years ago I was pretty good at clothing and went into machine quilting. Recently I have found dozens of young women ages 20-40 in our church that do not know how to sew at all and I've been showing them some things, trying to make it fun. However, I'm unsure of my own skills and would like to continue to teach them. At this point, I've been doing the project and then teaching them. What surprised me was they didn't know how to thread a machine much less sew a straight seam... so we're backing up and starting slower. I have read a couple of your magainzes and have really been inspired. I have used some creative ideas as bait to get them to want to embelish their own clothing while learning to sew. Fun! Fun!

Once I joined the workforce and was busy with kids activities and going to college at night, I forgot all but the basic sewing skills. I would love the video collection to get me back to the level I sewed at 30 years ago. In the passing years, I've lost all of my custom patterns and notebooks of notes so I really need some help.
