*grin* I understand. I bring 2 dresses in case I spill something icky down 
my front at a day event-- and if I have to appear in court for something 
important, I try to bring something nice or at least an apron. But I can 
turn out a t-tunic in an hour, if I'm in a hurry. I just can't sew 
anything complicated or that requires fitting. My best hemp/cotton tunic 
is still waiting to have the neckline oversewn and I still have a lovely 
winter wool dress that I haven't finished making the lacing holes on. A 
friend 'helped me make it' last fall...
