Nancy really took her time practicing and getting this technique down before we filmed. Shoulder pads it seems are a lot easier to make yourself than try to find for retail sale... I was using my handheld camcorder to record the video so quality is as good as I could get. I've been experimenting adding more multi-media content to reviews and message boards. Here are the YouTube videos, you can watch them right from PR now. -- Edited on 1/22/10 7:50 AM -- ------ Blog: www.briansews.com I teach at www.hipstitchers.com YouTube videos: http://www.youtube.com/BRemlinger

I watched the videos and printed off the templates and plan on making these. Thank you very much for all your hard work!

It's easy to make shoulder pads and Nancy shows you just how easy it is. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

The shoulder pads are 1/2" thick, and they're designed to fit a standard tailored jacket with set in sleeves. And I agree it's much easier to make your own shoulder pads than to try to track them down.
