Looking for patterns (and fabric suggestion)

gotta be real linen... linen and rayon blends can be half decent, but they just don't breathe nearly as well nor do they last as long. I wear light weight linen in the summer and heavy weight (and multiple layers) in the winter since I don't get along well with wool. I got a website from a friend lately that has good prices on linen, I'll have to find the sample card she handed me and post a link. They have nice heavy linen that would make for good winter pants or shirts.

And gussets are made of win, so much easier than messing with french curves and patterns. Its much more historically accurate too but thats a whole 'nother discussion.

You can get linen for incredibly cheap at www.fabrics-store.com

Also, gussets *are* awesome. And historically accurate. And made of win.

thanks for the great link!  Please, what's "win"?

Ask your seventh graders tomorrow, Dear.

Oh, that'll be great!  Thanks!
