Love , love love these 2 gracious hosts.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and experience with us.
God bless you both.
This is the kind of exposure that gets the inner man moving. It is the desire of my heart to return to
my original love for sewing, I did not realize the gift God had already blessed me with. Thank you both for sharing.
May God continue to bless you is my prayer!
Awesome presentation! I love sewing and crafting. Just to listen to how it is really done professionally, brings an even greater desire to learn, create, and do it the right way!. A good feeling!
How wonderful for you both to share you knowledge with us. I know now (after watching that video) that I am a beginner... can't seem to sew straight... and zippers? Can do them but it is always a challenge. I'm suddenly looking forward to winter 20-2021! And I so love Mr. Jim giving praise to our Heavenly Father for his success and talent! AMEN!
Finding the two of you on CZcams is such a blessing!!!! I'm a professional seamstress and costumer and feel so happy to hear your refreshing and inspirational thoughts on the career/hobby/joy sewing has brought to my life for over 45 years.. I can't wait to see and share all your episodes!
Thank you both .I am touch by the history lesson,that what I call fundamental of sewing.
Thank you both for sharing your passion, wisdom, and love. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and I look forward to catching up with the series.
th I am so glad to come across your vlogs. I am trying to get back into the sewing that I haven't don't in decades but have had a lovely for. I need as much knowledge and insight as possible. I will be watching until . I am caught up inbetween sewing lessons of my own need. awesome to hear from a learned people.
I am so glad I found this show I am a self taught home sewer who has retired from state employment and want to learn everything without going to school.
I am so glad to finally meet a tailor and a seamstress together this is great. I have some clothing for over 40 years and never have I been the success that I dreamed of. I learn tailoring techniques and applications from my dad who was also a tailor but listening to you guys is this really great and I thank you for having a program like this I will be watching every episode.
My goal for this summer was to find a sewing learning pathway to give a complete set of solid foundation skills, I am so excited to have come across your channel! I'll be following you and hopefully moving my sewing skills up to making my own garments. I hope to show you projects as I learn from you.
I am sooo excited about this new show. I can tell by the way the two of you articulate the passion you have for your craft and the respect you both seem to have for your mentors, each other and your God-given talent, that I will learn so much. Thank you.
So glad that these videos are still out there! Thank you for making them. I am kind of going backward and enjoy learning from both of you!
I AM JAMES FORMER SCHOOL MATE IN NEW YORK FASHION INDUSTRIES HIGH SCHOOL. BUT I ONLY TOOK UP DRESS DESIGNING AND PATTERN MAKING. I AM SO GLAD GOD ALLOWED ME TO FIND HIM ON YOU TUBE. I WAS ALWAYS SCARED OF TAILORING BUT BY TAKING IN HIS TIPS ON TAILORING I WAS ABLE TO DO ALTERATIONS ON MY HUSBANDS PANTS. NOW I HAVE BEEN DESIGNING MORE SUITS FOR WOMAN USING TAILORING TECHNIQUES THAT HE GAVE. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE YOUR YOU TUBE STUDENT BUT IT HAS BEEN A BLESSING. AND BY THE WAY MY HUSBAND ACTUALLY PAID ME FOR FIXING HIS CLOTHES. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOUR WORK.
So powerful and inspirational not only for sewing. You're both so amazing! Thanks for sharing your wisdoms.
Just ran across this channel. I love you two!! Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!
I saw episode 27 and myself told me to start at episode 1 after 2 minutes immediate subscribe the knowledge this man and woman possesses is going to be invaluable thank you sir and mam for this
Wow! This is one of my favorite shows now. I sew a little, self taught, now I will do more. Thanks to Mr. Jim and Victoria.
You two are great communicators; very informative and inspirational.
Awesome information... its all about repetitive sewing... ... so agree.
a dying breed...thank you sir
I can't wait to wear my next suit. I saw it, tried it on and gave it back to Mr. Jim to finish. I am hooked and I will never be able to walk into another store again.
Really loved the show. Thanks for letting us know you a bit better! I'm excited to see even more videos.
Great show! I'm so excited for more to come!
Victoria, you are great at this! So, is Mr. Jim! I think you have truly walked into your calling. Much success on all your endeavors! Blessings to the both of you!
Love this show, I am glad I found it. I miss sewing, I am in my 50's now and I wish I would have went to dress making school right out of High school. Did some sewing back in grade 7 and 8 and I loved it. I am sorry that I never kept it up. Found a place in my area that offers sewing lessons that I am going to look into. Would love to get back to work, and do something for a living. I went to work right out of High School and forgot all about sewing, until I saw this show. I've wasted so much of my time. Thank Gentleman Jim and Victoria. P.S. I plan on watching all the show. So I have a bit to catch up on.
Oh, my, goodness! I'm just now finding you and so very, very tickled I did. I LOVE the tailoring of the man's jacket. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I had no idea where to turn once my mother passed (5 years ago) for sewing and tailoring questions. I'm so very pleased that you have these videos available. Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Thank you for doing this!
Wish you were in California.
Hi Jim and Victoria. Jim made two suits for me and they are fabulous. I feel blessed to have him as my tailor
It feels serendipitous to stumble across your channel at this point in my sewing journey! I feel like an intermediate self taught sewer and I want to learn the methodology to the madness:) I'm so excitedXD!
Thank you both for such an informative video. Master Jim is the original Classic man and Ms. Victoria is the Neu Renaissance woman of their crafts, professionalism and personality. I look forward to following you.
I enjoyed this show. I enjoyed listening to Victoria interviewed Gentlemen Jim. The show was so informative. Thank you so much!!!
OM Goodness. I've enjoyed this immensely. So many excellent reminders. Three major things I am carrying away from this episode is #1 installing zippers and pockets and sewing a straight line; #2 continue to sew, no matter what; #3 sew from the heart not the head. My skills need improvement and I've put my sewing on the back burner out of frustration. Gentleman Jim's statement "I just wanted to make clothes" hit me hard--because that's how I feel.
These episodes need to be on a podcast if they aren't already. I'd love to listen while driving or not have my phone open with youtube running
Victoria, I'm so excited to learn that my story is very similar to yours. I guess I'm 'odd' too! I am a research junkie and I am self-taught. I am happy to see it is possible to go on to great things without being formally taught. I admire the skill level of Gentleman Jim and would have loved to have gained the schooling he has at a high school level. What a blessing!
Can't wait to post my new shoe.
I am grateful to have this video feed on my youtube interests.
Just found you two. Engrossing, easy to listen to, informative. Emphasis on a professional, heart , approach to sewing . Encouraging. The Lord continue to bless you both.
That's beautiful. When he says about how to sew a garment and he says to "guide it" not steer it. It reminds me of myself when I learned, haha, that my Higher Self actually makes the best garments when I allow it. If you try to control everything, you just get stressed out. But when you get in sync, in touch, in tune with your Higher Self, you just glide along, and what's more, you find really awesome new ways of doing things that you never would have thought about before. It's in the surrendering to the inner self's all knowing ways, that you get the most out of it. You're not just an ego, you're also a Higher, and a Lower Self, meaning, the Spirit and the Mother Earth Instinct Self. And they both have a lot more experience behind them than us as the Middle Self ego does, hahaha! Love these teaching videos. Thank you. Very helpful.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this video! I'm inspired to sew, but thought I had to attend FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) to learn. Then I happened upon your videos. Boy o boy! Both of you are such an inspiration! I just purchased the zipper video from Gentleman Jim, and I'm taking the beginning online sewing class with Dressmaker Victoria on BurdaStyle tomorrow (December 7th, 2015). :-) Once again, thank you both so much, and I will be watching all of the videos on You Tube.
Wonderful talk! Thank you Mr Jim and Victoria.
Presented well in a very engaging way. Looking forward to this series.
Great show! I really enjoyed both of you! I look forward to the next show!
I enjoyed this segment! Loved hearing your backgrounds! Looking forward to the next show!
Just the video that I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I've learned so much already just watching your video.
I'm so very pleased to have found your show!! I'm new to sewing, and I've just enrolled in a basic sewing class. ( It has long been a dream of mine, to bring my fashion sketches / designs to life ). With your selflessly, sharing your knowledge of the craft, I've had many questions answered. Thanks to you, I now feel more confident in learning to sew!!!
Thank you, both! 😘😘👊👗👚👖
I look forward to your upcoming videos and really enjoyed your first one.
I needed this conversation today... Thank you so much...
Very informative video. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I feel ed blessed to have received such enlightenment from you both!
Ive just discovered you now 2019..my grandfather was a tailor ...im getting to grips with dressmaking for myself first...
Great first show. you both gave me some great perspectives and some things to think about!!
Great first show! I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this series.
Loved it! Very professionally done. Interesting and informative. Looking forward to upcoming episodes!
This was a good show - made me curious of what is to come. May I please ask that you include an episode or two about fitting garments properly. Fitting is an essential part of sewing. An ill fitting garment will never look good, no matter how perfectly it is sewn. Looking forward to the next episode!
Anne S Couldn't agree with you more Anne! Yes, in the future we will highlight on fitting garments correctly and it will be laced in alot of our topics!
very informative videos im so grateful......just some feedback please rename your videos according to the topic just so that we can identify them according to specific needs
I would like to add a little more to that definition of dressmaking and tailoring. The tailor works with more structured garments and therefore does more pattern drafting because everything has to line up in a way that is almost geometric. The dressmaker does flat pattern making, too, but he or she is more likely to start the patterning process by draping because flowing garments are often more curved and need to be seen in 3d first to get the right amount of drape or gathering . It is also easier to fit a woman's garment on a dress form or a real body because of the curves of a woman's body.
There is also a historical difference.Tailors historically belonged to guilds. I'm sure Jim will talk about that. They still have designated levels. For example, a master tailor is someone who understands all aspects of tailoring. I usually takes years to reach that level. Dressmakers don't have guilds and the word covers all levels from home sewers to dressmakers who focus on high end garments.
MISS YOU TWO SO MUCH
Found your web page Victoria, but not updated for a while. bummer.
Jim's web link goes no where.
Bless you BOTH!
Awesome Premier Show; and looking forward to others SOON.
Where may I buy your book Mr. McFarland, "Across 125th Street"?
Thanks A Million & Perpetual Success!

I am new to your channel and I appreciate you both so much for doing this. I would like to know if you do work shops? It would be a wonderful vacation for me to take a week off work to fly to your state and take a work shop session for a few days. This would be the ideal vacation for me.

whitley julkes Hello! The next show is August 26th and we'll cover How to Master Your Sewing :)
What an awesome program and interview. I learned so much in this one alone. I would like to win a gift. How I would have liked to have mr gentlemen Jim as a mentor, God bless.
Hi, my name is Alfreda, I have watching your videos for awhile now, and they have been very helpful. I do alterations for others as well as myself, the tips that I picked up from your videos have joined forces with what I already knew and it has brought smiles to their faces as well as $$ to my pocket, for that I thank you and your assistance so much. Now I have a project on a man's suit jacket, I need to decrease the size by 1/1/2 inch on each side. I'm working with the two seams in the back near the arms, what I want to know is how do I shorten the sleeve, from the top or no?
Thank you in advance.
Alfreda
Guide the fabric- Yes! This is what I wll my students all the time. The machne will do the work, you just need to guide the fabric
I love watching your show I follow you.I have a goofy request.I learned to sew at 16 I can cut a pattern can clone patterns I am good at that but I keep destroying my sewing machines cause I cannot thread the bobbin right.,What 8s those numbers on bobin plate? 1/2 ,5/8... What is thread tension on the sewing machine? Why does that stupid bunch up in the bobbin housing? I want to sew so much I have been sewing by hand.. but my hands hurt can you do a show on how to get that thread in the bobin housing..I know your busy but I still watch your show and love how professional you both are.
Beauriful history I wish both of you could be my mentor I am realy inlove in sewing I wish I can learn more and more,.. I would like to have those DVDs where can I find them or can you send them to me?
Mr. Jim,

I become frustrated because i have an unique body and have always had the challenge of figuring because my pattern are not adjusted correctly, but i can design an outfit and it fit. If i can master the adjustment i know that i can move forward. Because i did not create myself i have to go with the float.
just to give you an idea of my concerns
i have large upper arms
small waist
large hips
long arms and full bust
