Update:
Great news, Rags and LadyZ have their suits DONE.
Edit**
It is up to the rest of you all on the list weather or not to send the $$ in now or later for your suits/patterns. I HAVE Rags and LadyZ's suits IN HAND.
So, she's ready for the rest of you. She says, that she busted two of her sewing machines on the suits so far and took 10 hours just on the patterns alone per person. So, she is really being a trooper. Everytime she feels like giving up, I keep on encouraging her to stick it out. She keeps on waving her boxed needles showing me how many she broke everytime she had another welt seam to do. Neoprene sewing is fustrating and so are the custom patterns. So, be forewarned. Lets hope she doesn't quit on us, I propose you all mail her a word of encouragement - seriously* (since she doesn't have time to view the boards). She really has done a tremendous job after so many revisions.
Edit*4/15 Sorry, she aint done the vest patterns, she couldn't find the master pattern, so I lent her my vest. She said she'd call when she had em done. She finally found em today, rooting through all the revisions that matched my vest.
