I'm sure all you other guys tune in just to learn how to sew, I'm not afraid to admit I look to see how her creations compliment her figure which I am sure she realizes they do. For a compliment to be a pickup line you have to expect somekind of interaction which to this old man still means face to face not online. To clarify, I did not expect that acknowledging she is a woman would make her leave her husband and child or even the beautiful scenery of her homeland to fall in love with a grumpy old american.
As a side note: Giannyls instructables have taken the mystery from sewing and pattern making for me, no longer limited to just sewing on patches, last year, I made my halloween costume. Nothing elaborate but rewarding none the less

You make sewing look so fun, easy, and sexy.
You are your own designer, seamstress, host, and model. All wrapped-up in a very beautiful package!! I can only dream about woman like you.
Keep up the great work though, despite my heart skipping a beat everytime I see you, I do learn quite-a-bit about sewing from you -- I may end up buying a sewing machine.... except I won't be making bikini's and thongs, lol. Thanks for the inspiration Giannyl.
