So yeah,
rennwench sent me her copy of Tudor Tailor on a long-term loan with the proviso that I send her pictures of the finished product.
Guess what? Just as I told April that I have the borrowed copy now, she went over to the bookshelf and pulled my copy of said book right off the shelf where the costuming books are kept stacked.
I swear to all I hold dear and to the God/dess him/herself that I searched high and low for this book for a freakin' week!!! Charlie and Greg even helped me. It just freakin' figures that it would turn up *magically* when I finally get another copy to use.
Frakkin' Faeries... or brownies... or whatever little brat-like beastie that hid it from me!
