There really should not be anything to cause offense.. The lady who
comissioned you is a teacher, and she certainly should understand that
the work being done is a practical learning experience, and that you
as a professional sewist ensure that all the work is done correctly,
whether it is physically done by you, or someone you have working for
you.

Thanks all, I appreciate the feedback. I will be doing the actual
sewing of the Nationals skirts, DGD will pull threads for fringe on
the "plaids" (that's what the scarves are called) until she upchucks
or goes blind. ;-)

If you are nervous about what the teacher would think, then just run it by
her. I wouldn't care if I were the teacher, and like someone else said, she
will probably understand perfectly about skills being learned. Besides
which, its only thread pulling, a two year old could do that, (attention
span permitting LOL) and I am sure your DGD is not two!

p.s. I want to see pics of these costumes if you are allowed to post them
somewhere! They sound so pretty.

No, DGD is ten-going-on-thirty! ;-) She has a real "I'm doing
[whatever] MY way" 'tude going on, drives her Mom nuts, but I adore
her. She is a little difficult to teach from my point of view, as she
is soooooo sure she knows everything already. So far she's willing to
concede that I *may* know a little more about sewing than she does.
;-}

I don't know if that'll happen unless I take pics of just the
garments. She will be lending these to her students, and I don't plan
on going to all of the competitions. These first ones are not
elaborate, they are like these:

http://www.tartantown.com/dance_skirt_plaid.html
dirndl skirt, velvet vest, cotton blouse, and scarf. Right now, I'm
only going to be making a bunch of skirts and scarves. Later,
perhaps... ;-)

Hey, back in the days, I had to fringe not only *my* costumes
but anything else my mom (a preschool teacher/administrator)
needed. Any unskilled task, us kids got, believe me (and some
skilled ones)
Didn't have to weave our own cloth, though.
