    I really appreciate these formidable guide. I will try them in successive practices. I had always wanted a one on one tutorial on these sewing skills. Most times the timing and schedule of my job makes it unrealudtic. With these basic steps., i can try at my leisure time a few practice. It will also be appropriate if the standard way of drafting patterns for sleeves, breast cups and trousers, shirts are made very easy during these tutorials. It is also good to know the standard measurements.

    Oops, computer wiped out again! I had been a member for quite awhile but Doctor and hospital appointmens made it too difficult to juggle time that I really didnèt have. I, and probably others of my age, would really appreciate it if you could list all of the topics on your CDs so that precious time not be lost and be a real turn-off. Hopefully I will get the time to sew when my eyes become normal again. Please, please, organize your CDs so that we can enjoy your lessons. Margaret
