Did You KNow that Friends Who Sew Can "Hook You Up?"

I've been trying to learn to sew since I started bellydancing. I can sew harem pants-- they're really easy-- you just sew two tubes of cloth together & put elastic in three places (legs, waist). But the other stuff, like cute little choli tops & tank, have eluded me. Today, I remembered that friend JJ who I'm visiting (till Tuesday, it turns out, since all the flights are booked out of Phoenix. Spring Break-- who knew?) is a great seamstress-type. So we went and got this cool pattern, and we're going to make it for me in black & gold. I was trying to find it online to show it to you but couldn't. Anyway. Trust me-- it's cool. And so is JJ. Yay!

More later. Now I have to go do sewing domestic stuff.
