teach grandkids to sew
I bought this as a start to teach my grandkids to sew. Didn't read others' reviews first. Glad I didn't. I watched this DVD last night and although much has been said about the quality of the "movie", I found it to be quite good from a skill progression standpoint. I have been sewing since I was 8 and I'm now on Social Security. This IS supposed to be for someone who does not know how to sew at all. It met that purpose perfectly IMHO. One reviewer mentioned not being able to see the print on the back of the pattern. All patterns look the same on the back. Knowing what each section was for is the object, not being able to read THAT specific pattern. The one thing I did like, specifically, is that this DVD gives me the chance to view it with the GK and while it is playing, teach them things that I would do differently and why, i.e. wasting so much fabric on the skirt layout comes to mind. I am sorta gagging over the price of these DVDs in the series and may have to resort to looking in the library for the next levels or trying to rent them online. As I said, I'm on SS.
