Hello,
Since no one in jumping on this, I decided if you want something done, do it yourself so here goes.
I am planning on having garb sewing sessions for the next few weekends prior to WPO in hopes of getting at least some of us in some pretty badass looking garb for aforementioned event. I am planning on holding it at my place from around 10 or so in the am to whenever....there is space in the basement to work as well as I have a storage area down there we could use that would be away from the grandbaby and other distractions. We could use the basement floor to lay out material for cutting if need be. Anyway, that is what I am planning. If anyone would like to participate let me know...I will be here sewing in any event. call me if you want details 815-621-2819

Plugging for my approval of this. While I don't have any materials to make anything, I'd like to learn how to sew. Everyone should be going to one or more of these sessions.

I'm totally down for this. I've been attempting to work on a skirt I'm converting from an old pair of pants but sewing it by hand isn't going so well. A sewing machine would be most helpful. Also recently came up with a few new garb designs. Now to get the fabric and make it. Yay!

FYI if people actually want to do this you have to contact me. Also this week obviously is not going to fly. Two reasons. No one contacted me and I am still sick.

Yeah, I like next week...or the week after. I'm guessing though, that we're on our own for fabric? I've got some, but not sure if it'll work for what I have planned out. Have fabric picked out...but no clue how much I'd need. Kinda fail in that department.

I have limited fabric. You are welcome to pick through but at the moment it is very limited and not very pretty.....

I don't think I'll be able to attend because won't have the gas. I'm out here all the time and you choose the day after I have to go home... ;-) It's all good, I WILL get my butt over there soon. :-D

Yeah, I'll have to see. I totally forgot that I need to get more funds so I can by fabric since my checking account doesn't like red...and I won't be seeing my mom or get my next paycheck til Friday...when I'll already be in Rockford. So we'll have to see. Got a bunch of random scraps that we might be able to work with.

Jo Anns this week is having one hell of a sell. Guess who just picked up a bunch of cloth for some sweet ass hakamas and tunics? I'll give you a clue: his name is Brooder.
