I sew! I made my prom dress last year and I'm working on the one for this year! And really it is so much cheaper than buying a dress and it does take a lot of time if you are a perfectionist but if you get a sewing party going with all your friends then its more like gossip circle and sewing goes by much faster!

I would LOVE to see a show on sewing geared to the novice. I think a sewing class with the right host/hostess could be as big as cooking shows are these days. I recently pulled out a sewing machine I took lessons on in 7th grade. (several decades ago!) I know that I could really use some help! I got bit by the sewing bug again after watching all the seasons of Runway. It made me think I might actually be able to pull something off!

Please bring back Project runway soon. I'm in withdrawal!
Thanks,
Maria

P.S. I would be more than happy to serve as one of your students on your first show!!!

The first network to do an inspired sewing show for beginner-to-advanced home sewists is gonna make a million. You ought to jump on it first. PEOPLE ARE SEWING! They've realized that they can make their own almost-couture garments with their own spark and creativity, that FIT THEM RIGHT, for tons less than the ready-to-wear selections that are out there. I can't tell you haw many times I've seen a runway or RTW outfit that I've liked, then found a pattern that EXACTLY MATCHES IT, then sewn my own using my colors, my measurements, my embellishments. And I've only been at this a year.

Sewing is the hobby of the 21st century. Take a look at patternreview.com, or at all the sewing blogs out there, for proof of this. Turn it into a game, and you've got a lock on it. You could have novices get hoooked up with designers in "sew-off" contests and win sewing machines, sergers, etc... - or novices design their own outfits and win having it mass-produced by a top designer, etc... the possibilities are endless. Hope you're scheming something up!

Sewing is a lost art it seams. I made my own wedding dress last year after being disappointed in the prices of gowns at the stores. I also made my veil and altered my shoes to match. Total cost of materials (silk and swarovski crystals) and all accessories for the big day - under $400! The dress I was looking at would have been $1500 alone!

I love to sew! That's weird coming from a guy but I think that Sewing is making a huge comeback. It's so great to be able to do amazing things with just a few yards of fabric, some thread, and a sewing machine. I agree, there should be sewing classes on tv. I try to learn from Project Runway, but I;m going to be honest, the skills they are using are a little too advanced for me. I watch the "How to Quilt" shows all the time, but the hosts are always older women, no offense, and I can't help but fall asleep while watching them!!

I have sewd for years( over 40) and real love it. It seems a forgotton art and should be revived as there is so much money to save by sewing. Clothes look better, sewn better and I use sewing as my relaxation. There are so many gorgeous fabrics available.
