I am interested in both the Sari/Saree and the Lehenga; I'm sure I'll get

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'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. It could be that there's more

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