Thanks for the numbers!  Being able to see the patterns without having to 
drive two hours to Santa Rosa helps a bunch!

I'm interested in making a set of robes from the movie.  Maybe for Worldcon 
next year.  Dunno.  Any way, does anyone know if someone is making the 
patches?  I could embroider some but that seems like a lot of work for a 
garment that should take about two hours start to finish to make.  Have any 
of the magazines talked about the costumes in more than a designer way i.e. 
fabrics and layouts?  Well, I can hope!

I'll be gone for three weeks starting Monday.  I guess I'll have to switch 
this list and the OT list to web only.  The five days' worth of mail that I 
missed when we were at a show was pretty amazing.

Catherine in Albion, CA who should be listening to her French tapes so she 
has some clues when she gets there.
