The last time I made a t-tunic for someone, it took 7 hours, *not* including
the pattern, and 4 yards of fabric. No embroidery -- that really does price
you right out of the market -- but hand-stitched hems.

Kate tells me that the Spanish teacher popped in from next door to sample
the food, and threatened the French teacher with dire consequences if she
didn't award an A.
