There are lots of things I don't like about Project Runway but I do like Tim Gunn. I've just read the first chapter of his new book and really liked it. Has anyone read the whole book? http://www.amazon.com/Tim-Gunn-Guide-Quality-Taste/dp/0810992841 |

Love Tim Gunn and the Project Runway show. I was pleased to hear that they were interviewing for Season 4 but did not say when the new season starts. I'm sure Tim Gunn being on Project Runway has increased enrollment at his school. I love reading the contestants blogs on www.bravotv.com and have subscribed to some of their email newsletters. I learn something new each time I watch the re-runs and I think it helps to improve my sewing skills. Marty

From what I have heard, this guy is wonderful. I should look into a copy of his book.

His name has been cropping up everywhere lately. Living in France, I'm not even sure what Project Runway is.  I feel like I'm missing out on something big!Hopefully his book is available on Amazon.fr

Isabelle, Project Runway is a "Survivor" type show for clothing designers.. They start out with 12 or 15 unknowns or slightly knowns and eliminate one each week.. They have a panel of judges that are well known Designers and Magazine editors.. Each week the designers are given an assigned project; a time limit; and a budgeted amount to spend on fabric..They have a live model to model the finished products.. I have only seen season 2 and 3. I don't like those survivor type shows normally, and only watch this one to see Tim and listen to how tactful he is.. I really have to admire his self control from time to time.. Sew With Love
