Well, I never get anything costume related from my friends and family. But I do sew for them every year. Last year was very successful. I made long (to the floor) robes out of cotton batiks. Everyone loved theirs. This year I'm back to short sleeve shirts out of outrageous prints. My fave is out of a fabric printed with a kitchen scene of Donna Reed-like women in their 50's crinolines and pearls doing housework! There's one decorating a cake, one cleaning.... And one LOADING THE DISHWASHER! Who'd have thought a dishwasher would be printed on a fabric much less someone loading a dishwasher? I gave that shirt to my friend Lynne who hates and does not do housework....to prove that in fashion there can be irony as well as ironing. **************One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.
