I'm in DC/MD and I'd take you up on it....if I didn't already have 2 non-functional "modern" (1970s) machines in my basement :P And re: "so what are you making?" - I'm usually honest without the snark, and most of the time it's interesting enough to get/keep the clerk's attention. But I'm going to HAVE to use the line about rolling around on it so the cats know it's mine :P I don't hoard fabric as much as I hoard *patterns* - on sale they're cheap and file nicely, and half the things I pick up don't go out of style easily (Miyake/art to wear, costume patterns) so they "keep". Anyone else? Allison T. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
