If you have sewn in the past and want to refresh your skills, I highly recommend this video. I have sewn for years but it was always the same thing. I wanted something different and my children were asking for new things. I called You Can Make It after visiting their website and decided to purchase the Level 2 video. Pam is very thorough in her explanation and takes you step by step through the sewing process. I have sewn several skirts in the past but I learned several new techniques that have already benefited me greatly. She is also there after the sale if you have questions or need clarification on a given topic. I have used the level 1 video with two of my daughters in their homeschooling curriculum with great success. This is an excellent series of tapes and I recommend that they be added to your sewing library. Her love of sewing is apparent and her teaching skills are superb!

I had took home ec in junior high school & loved doing the sewing projects. Years & years later I received a sewing machine for a gift. For about a year I tried to teach myself but could only do very, very basic stuff. That is until this video. This video has very helpful information & easy to understand demonstrations. The time chart you get along with the video is very convenient; you know how far to fast-forward to get to the part you need to review. The best part is you always have them on hand in case you need to jog your memory. I plan on continuing with the whole series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good refresher course, October 5, 2003

This review is from: You Can Make It - Learn to Sew - Level 2 (vhs) (VHS Tape)

I'm getting back into sewing after an absence of about 20 years. This serves as a good refresher of sewing basics (putting in a zipper and waistband, sewing buttons and hooks/eyes), and I think it would be great for a beginner. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could -- Pam's voice is a little too monotonic at times.
