Some up-cycling or re-purposing using easy sewing techniques for boys. There are tons of ways to make cute dresses for girls out of T-shirts, pillowcases, etc. but there has to be a way to do some clever stuff for boys as well.
LOVE YOUR SHOW, but haven’t seen it on in my area for a few weeks now. Is there a place I can see it online?
I would love to see different ways to do smocking.
Fitting pants
Freehand machine embroidery
Beading would be wonderful. I want to know how to do bead strings to attach to skirts of dresses like Laura Bennett did on Project Runway 3. And how to attach individuasl feathers to a garment.

I would like to see 3 dimensional applique with quilting. In particular, various ways to attach items to flat quilt background so they blend continuously to the quilt as a whole. Clever binding/finishing techniques would always be nice to learn.
Creative ways to use your odd fabrics
I’d love to see some featured fine ready-to-wear showing uses of machine embroidery. You could parallel with some sewing patterns and comparable machine embroidery patterns. The point would be that we can use embroidery to be as stylish as anybody else out there. I believe it, but I would love to see the encouragement and ideas for it.

I would like to see reverse applique.
