I have your book and am excited to start mending. I have a favorite pair of jeans that are getting thin on the top of my thighs but no holes yet. Should I so some decreative stitching on top or do I need to put a patch on top even though they haven’t worn through yet? Thanks for the demo.

I met him
Help! I bought his book and started to make a basic sloper. I can’t go any further since the scale information is incomplete. The info shows the size of the blocks on the page in the book , but do not share the ration for scaling up.
Enjoyed the video, very easy to understand. I have the pattern book.Thank you. Geraldine South Wales
What an excellent teacher you are! Terrific tutorial and terrific needle felting as well. Many thanks!

a friend of mine got this book recently..she brought it with her to our crochet group today..I drooled, I mean I looked through it and decided that think I need a book like this because I am getting into tunisian crochet so much myself..
In Australia we now use the vilene method going around edges that need turning under...this method is out of date for doll dress making. see ua-cam.com/video/OIpedQJMj5Q/v-deo.html
Great demo. You make it seem so easy.
