    Dear Vani mam,

    Good to know your mom is recovering and doing well. My prayers for her speedy recovery.

    As usual your tutorial is exceptional. With your instructions i stitched a frock with petal sleeves in a overlapping bodice. As camera was not ok I couldn't post the photo yet. Will soon do it. Now I will try this one. This is a very nice one. I remember my mom stitched one full length dress with step frills when I was 12 yrs old.

    I think cotton material will not suit for this type. What kind of material would you suggest?

    Regards
    Manjukps

    Dear Vani ma'am,

    Firstly, sorry that I could not respond as promptly as you did.....and secondly, nice to hear that your mother is doing well now.....

    Its unfortunate that you are not taking any classes, but I just happened to notice one video tutorial of yours for canadian smocking....then it striked me that maybe you can try to offer video classes in similar way even for stitching. Of course, that would mean someone has to help you taking video, but just my idea....wanted to share...Even though you say that you do not go to computer class, the way you offer details regarding stitching , measurements, diagrams are very neat. Nowadays it has become a habit for me to look forward to something new from Vani ma'am in your blog or through this forum. Please continue to inspire us ! And please do think through offering your tips through videos. I know of one more person who used to do video tutorials for crochet, now that site is a big hit. So similar way you have so much of knowledge, and would love to have it shared through the latest technology :)

    Cheers !!!

    OK Vani ma'am...no issues. I just thought to give my suggestion, as I felt the video was very useful. Likewise, for topics which maybe difficult to keep in writing or drawing, video tutorial maybe a good medium of instruction! Otherwise also, its really a big job done by you even at this age !!! Hats off to you :)
