Hi Sandra,
Will you ever be coming to the UK for your sewing retreats? I would love to do one with you?

Dear Anna,
I would love to come to the UK but out of the country, I am usually hired as a guest speaker. Do you know anyone who would do that?
Thanks!
Sandra
I am so excited that you found a way to make your TV show available to all of us. The price is only that of a few Vogue patterns. In fact, I sometimes buy your patterns just to read the instructions – so clear and generous.
Thank you Sandra, for continuing to share your skills and creativity with the rest of us. And now that I’m getting close to 60, I really appreciate that you are designing patterns that are great for adult women.
Yeah Sandra!!

Hi Zane:
Thank you so much for such a wonderful post about Sandra and her WebTV Show. I have forwarded it to her via email (she is currently travelling). I know that she will absolutely love to read it.

Hooray! You or Vogue selected this model whom I remember from decades ago! She’s still lovely of course. She was one of my favorites back then. It’s great to see she’s returned. I think her name is Karen something, and I think she’s Swedish.
