Barghest, I always thought fashion design would be so much fun! I love sewing, but am not good at designing things. My mom taught me how to sew too, but only a couple of years ago. LOL I'm actually pretty good at it. I have a pattern for a pirate costume which includes bermuda-type pants, a peasant top, the vest which can be altered as a corset, and a pirate coat. All stuff that she badly wants. I'm going to start on a vest for her this week, and have her watch so she can learn how to start sewing herself.

She has about 20 dozen broomstick skirts - okay, 2! She loves them.

I never would have thought of the military surplus store! We have one here. We also live about a half hour from Virginia City, Nevada, which is a tourist trap with tons of antique stores that ALWAYS have something she wants. She freaks out whenever we go there. So do I actually. Too bad they're usually overpriced.
