Date: 3/7/12 10:14 AM Looks like NBC will have a new reality competition show starting on March 13. Unknown designers will launch new designs and then you can buy the patterns via McCall's.

Fashion Star I think it is called. I understood you could buy the actual clothing shown in the stores the next day.
In any case. we have made it to Prime Time and a major channel. How fabulous is that. We are in the big leagues now. |

Date: 3/7/12 12:34 PM Wouldn't it be awesome if sewing could kick in as the "in" thing to do!!! I already know it is...but when i say "I sew as a hobby" people look at me like I am weird. ------ "The problem is not that there are problems.

Date: 3/17/12 12:48 PM The discussion on this awful show is on another post started by tgm. I bumped it up. This topic morphed into what to call ourselves since sewing seems to be out of fashion amongst a lot of circles. Most everyone hated the show!

Date: 3/17/12 4:50 PM I liked it also. It is not a sewing show, but a runway show. I liked getting a diffent viewpoint from the buyers. ------ "Let's make the most of this day"
