I am looking for pictures to persuade her it is a bad idea.  I would really 
like to distance myself from doing anything that is that grossly wrong - but 
she seems interested in learning how to sew --- so I don't want to dissuade her.

I should have said also, that I understand someone not posting a link 
publicly...if you have something you would like to share, feel free to contact 
me off-list.

Thanks, Saragrace
