I was contacted today by Lili who asked a very important question for anyone deaf or severely hearing impaired who wants to use my DVD or any other tuitional DVD to learn a craft. So the next thing on my to-do list is to look into getting a subtitled edition of my DVD out!
Hi Scarlett, I’m interested in your dvd but i am deaf and i need text with anything to do with tv and dvd’s, does the dvd have subtitles? if not would a transcript of the dvd be available? regards, Lili.
Hi Lili, no I’m afraid it doesn’t have subtitles but the instructions in the PDF that comes with it are written and cover the same processes. The only difference is that in the PDF book it shows how to insert lacing bones at the back (steel bones with holes in for the eyelets) and in the video I explain that lacing bones can be used but for the corset I’m making in the video I will be using two steel bones with a gap in between for the eyelets (this is used in historically accurate corsets) but you should have no problem using either method without hearing the DVD as it’s predominantly a watch and follow along guide and the written manual is designed as a stand alone instruction manual to fully explain corset making. If you do have trouble I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you have by email – corsettraining@gmail.com
