I'm Giving Away My Alteration DVD Set to 10 Lucky People!!!!

That's right! I'm not just giving away 1, 2, 3 or 5 DVD's....
I'm giving away 10!!!!!!!!!!! That's right, 10!!!
This DVD set retails for $49.95 and is pretty popular!!!


I just want to thank you for opening your arms and welcoming me into the sewing blog community!!! As a sincere token of my deep gratitude I’d like to host my Alteration DVD GIVE-A-WAY. From what I understand give-away's are usually a fun thing to do in the blog world (smile). A few year’s back, when I had my shop in Atlanta I created a alterations DVD that showcased how I do some of the most common clothing alterations. You see at the time I noticed there weren't alot resources for the average sewer, shopowner, etc and wanted to help fill that void. This DVD is chalked full of  valuable information!!! I not only demonstrate each alteration clearly but I also give tips and techniques that simplify the process and yield professional results. This 2 DVD set is split into the following topics.....
Disc 1
-Introduction
-Tools
-Marking
-Sewing Exercise
-Alterations
-Pants: Men

Disc 2
-Lady's Pants
-Jackets
-Shirts
-Zippers
-Lady's shirts

This information is invaluable!!! Look at the "testimonials" page (under my blog title) to get helpful reviews. Imagine being able to properly alter your RTW clothing. Nothing beats impeccable fit. Maybe you can even start up a business doing so. The alterations business is very lucrative.  Anyway the tools you need are RIGHT HERE in this DVD.

So are you interested in winning one of my DVD's???? Then just do the following....

Giveaway Rules
1. Leave a comment on this post with your name. (This is a great time for me to get to know you.)
2. Announce this GIVEAWAY on your Blog and/or Facebook page and include a link to it. (We want to share the opportunity!!! Also please leave the name/link of your blog...I'd love to visit!!!)

I'll announce the winners on September 16th!!!

Thanks for joining in with the Give-A-Way fun!!! Also be on the look out for more helpful blog posts, new YouTube videos and even a DVD in the not too distant future!

    Hello Gentleman Jim,
    I found your blog via Victoria's blog (Ten Thousand Hours). I wish I lived closer to Savannah. I'm still trying to plan a trip to Savannah to take a class. I'm hoping you have a mini class that I can take in a week or a few days. I'd love to win a set of the DVDs. I am really enjoying your blog posts!

    Hi, what a generous thing to do.....I learn about you from a Savannah blogger who happens to be one of your students. So exciting, I want to learn all that I can about fine tailoring b/c my son is a big man and clothes that fit him is hard to find and expensive. So with your DVDs, his wife and I can finally get him into some nice pants that fit. I'm new to this blogging so I believe if you click on my name it will direct you to my blog.

    Hi. I learned of your blog via Victoria and also enjoyed watching 2 of your tutorials on waistband, ban roll and hook & eye. Let me say, I have those hook & eyes and was clueless as to how to use them. Thanks so much... now if I can remember where I put them. Both tutorials offered a wealth of information and Thanks so much for sharing. I would love to have your prized videos and look forward to many more of your sewing posts.

    I found your blog through Victoria's blog and I am so glad I did! Your DVD's sound like they are exactly what I need. I love to sew and I've set out a goal to learn more advanced techniques and to learn them the correct way. It's been a bit hard to find in depth information and I learn better by seeing techniques demonstrated than just by reading. I always have to alter (or have someone else alter) garments I buy. My goal is to learn how to alter them the correct way and then to continue on to construct my own garments. Since I only work a couple of days a week, now I have the time to spend in my sewing room as a student! I just sent a Facebook friend request to you and I'm heading back over there to share your blog.

    I have some old books on alterations that were my grandmothers. To see someone demonstrate the techniques "in person" would be wonderful.
