Naples and Jeffery Diduch's blog - Made By Hand

I love the video of the Napolitano tailors. I first saw this on Jeffery Diduch's blog and it brought back childhood memories of living in Italy in the late 50's. You might want to look at his blog, particularly for the 3 items on Claire Schaeffer. Those of you in the Coco's Jacket working group will particularly enjoy.

Basting - a cool video from Italian tailors

Marcy Tilton has some interesting tutorials. One concerns basting and contains a cool video interview with several Italian tailors. The quick shots of basting are fun to see.
