Dear list, I shared with you all my frustrations on measuring elastic for children who were far away a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't able to incorporate any of your suggestions this time, but did find ready-made garments to measure for a guide. I believe I mentioned that one reason to send the garments completely finished, rather than having their mom try to finish the casings, is that they would want to put the garments on immediately. Well, that is what happened. Because the family will be traveling for two weeks at Christmas, they opened their gifts Monday night, and we watched via web cam. The did indeed immediately put on their nightgowns. (Also gratifying was that the older one instantly recognized that they were the same fabric I had used to make them pillows for their birthdays.) Ah, modern technology! Ann Wass _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
