I found this series of videos completely by accident, and they are wonderful!

Never heard of Charles Kleibacker, but the insight into his fitting and finishing techniques is amazing.  Just watching him work on fitting the Dianne Von Furstenburg wrap over (Vogue pattern).

Wonderful stuff!! Just the thing for a wet, miserable day!  ;)

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Some years ago there was a good article about him and working in bias, I think, in Threads  magazine.
Thanks for the link.  Wonderful to see these people at work.  They make it look so easy.  :)

I'll watch it later. I'll be late for work otherwise. "Watching utube videos" isn't a good excuse for being late, I imagine.

I loved the DVF pattern. I made three or four wrapover dresses years ago.
