O.K. I have the chance of a very large commission for costumes of

For the non-SCA folks; this is an SCA sponsored Costume Symposium
here
in the states in October. While it is an SCA event, anyone
interested
in costuming is welcome to attend.
Is this a replacement for, or in addition to the local costume event
normally held in February?

Katheryne,
Where are you located? Could you possible use a scanner at a local Kinko's or
something? Does your library have a scanner?
I'll look around at some thrift stores, sometimes I find treasures there! Maybe
I can find a choli and dismantle it too!
Thanks,

What a comprehensive list of references! The only thing I could

Shalincraft is OK, I've bought from them. I got fast service and

As to someone else's question, although the kingdom calendar doesn't

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. It could be that there's more
people using the muslin where I am and the bolts aren't used up as
quickly in Everett. Ill bet there is more of this muslin in some
places six months from now, but in the SF area, it seems to be gone.
And that's why I'm so lucky -
I should say, I just looked at Shalincraft and they have a lot more
embroidered stoles than last time I looked, some of which are very tempting.

You don't need a pattern for a saree - it's six yards of fabric. Folkwear
has a pattern for a choli.
