Well done Amanda, it's really good stuff. :)

How kind of you to say! The party frock in particular teaches you heaps about how to sew reversible things, which is my particular obsession :) And yes, you will start studying every garment to figure out the order in which it would be assembled.

I wish you taught specific classes for idiots like me, on the subjects such as "Here is how you create a buttonhole" or "How to make your sewing look neat"

Actually, I do have a tute on my blog about buttonholes called 'How to buttonhole when your machine hates you' or something like that :) And as far as being neat, once you move onto reversible things you don't even have to. Everything is hidden on the inside!
