No way my son would don a tie...certainly not a vest or a cumberbund,
although I DO like the idea. The most I can hope for, considering the age
range (3 to 65!) is shirts in a similar color....maybe tan or gray. I'll
let you know what comes about.

That must be so rewarding, Juno!! And having her measurements before
drafting will minimize any adjustments. Before you know it, all the women
in the family, ncluding the DGDs, will "need" new skirts.

I'm getting to be the busy little skirt maker lately it seems. The DGD's
I made the skirts for have put in a request for more. They all want pink
and white this time.
The directions were so easy to follow for DD's skirt. It took me about
15 minutes to draft and cut out the pattern. I really struggle with
commercial patterns trying to get adjustments correct. This should work
really well for me because my body comes nowhere near the way any
commercial pattern is made.
I also found instructions for making pants for myself. After the
holiday I'll ask my friend to do my measurements and give them a try.
