Saw a group with 2 or 3 girls and their dolls all in matching dresses obviously homemade from a 1960s floral print, for example.

I second the recommendation for Vogue Fabrics in Evanston. It's probably one of the best fabric stores in the country. I also recommend that you consider visiting Bristol RenFaire which will be opening the weekend of July 78. Karen Seamstrix -- Susan B. Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Speaking of Traveling ...
