WOW ! !! I use a regular machine and it takes me a whillllllllle to finish a beautiful garment of this nature. The gown can be constructed using less expensive but good quality fabric. It would take that long to just lay and cut the pattern (or least for me) but then I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and take frequent breaks but still if I worked straight through it would take much longer than 2 hours. That is fantastic sewing. I love to sew the Ren garb but I also provide garments for today's fashion depending on the customer. Anyway, not all of us who sew for others provide [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just my 2 cents worth. Lady Von

Now I deal with maps and data bases and school buses, thank goodness, and get to do my sewing for fun. --Sue in Montana, not Susan in TN ;o) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sylvia Rognstad" To: "Historical Costume" Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 9:34 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: gores in skirt in late Middle ages??? > Really?
