Hi Tim – I’m such a fan. I want to first say that you seem like such a sweet, charming man. I have a lot of respect for you as a person and for your expertise of course too.

I want to get into creating clothing but not sure where to begin. My grandmother owned a bikini and cover up shop in the 1960’s in Surf City, USA (Orange County, CA) and made all of the items herself. My mom is also a great seamstress. So it’s kind of in my genes. I learned to sew when I was younger but just made really simple things years ago. I have a sewing machine I really want to use. I’m currently a professional graphic designer so I have all of these fashion design ideas but I can only go so far as putting them “on paper”. What advice might you have for someone who wants to make their visions a reality by producing fashion pieces? Should I just go to the fabric store and get some stuff I like? Should I buy a dress form and drape? Look at patterns? Thanks for doing this AMA - carry on! :)

Hey there. Thanks for doing this AMA.

Two things: What was your favorite bit/scene from the office that never ended up airing?

How much input did Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant actually give throughout the series, if any?
