It's not that I don't like to sew, but it is hard to fit in time. But I don't much like really plain and boring things like men's shirt, and I need a new period petticoat that I'm dreading.
Used to make things like flannel nightgowns, but never again--I wait for sales and special coupons at the local dept. store and figure I can get them for just a little more than the price of the materials. But if you are also helping someone produce income, that is great.

And yes, for me, too, the ideas and shopping are the fun part--the making up ot so much, unless I'm trying something new. never really liked to sew but when I got involved in the SCA, I kind of had to o it. Several years ago, though, I decided I would just pay people to do that art. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't... Right now, I'm working ith a pagan lady (used to weird costumes) who needs to supplement her isability payment and we are doing well together. Right now, she's working on couple flannel nightgowns in preparation for the upcoming winter. anet ______________________________________________ -costume mailing list [email protected] ttp://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
