In this program sewing instructor Kimberly Oedekoven presents the basics of sewing, encouraging viewers to "See it, like it, make it"-or to express themselves by designing new looks all their own. The video's short, informative segments include Sewing Tools and Essentials, Hand Sewing, Fabric Selection, Sewing Techniques and Rules, Sewing Machine Parts, and Fabric Selection. Instructions are also given for two easy projects-a t-shirt tote and pajama pants.
