I'm in the West Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. I'll joyfully

Judith,

As you or others have mentioned, often hands-on help is the best way  
to help you with sewing.

You may be feeling overwhelmed with Florilegium references by now, but  
I do have these files in the TEXTILE ARTS section.

Advantages.

There is also some useful info on clothing itself in the CLOTHIMG and  
the ACCESSORIES sections.
