Oh, you have been busy! The Force is with you. The brown and the sand colors look particularly nice. The crinkle cotton looks good; the silk looks nice but a little loose; is it larger than the others?
I must do more sewing.

I really like the brown calcutta, that looks very nice. Where did you get the calcutta?

Thank you to all for your compliments & :)yes I think the force was with me, I simply couldn't stop & had to keep going till I got done.
I attempted to take pix of the fabrics, I've got to try again the lighting didn't work too well. I will try again.
All the costumes are the same size, I have to make extra room for my shoulders because I have difficulty putting them on other wise.
I bought the calcutta fabric at Walmart (chocolate brown & natural) in Joliet & Hancoc--for some reason I can't type the k at the end of the the word)(cream & sand)in Joliet, Illinois where I live. I've recently been to both places since & they were out of all these colors. I'm so glad I bought them when I did. I didn't wait till they were on sale & this fabric was not available on line--I looked, if somebody can locate it please let me know. I'd like to get a little bit more cream calcutta fabric. 2 yards.

Someday maybe they will invent a censor that checks for context.

:ooh is that it, the censor doesn't know a fabric stores name when it see it, uh duh, & I thought it was my keyboard, well I feel better . I think eveybody knows what store name I was attempting to type, I hope.

funny,it used to change the end to "thingy" all the time, which made some things quite interesting. My fav was the "Umbrella Thingytoo" in the Pet Thread.

Absolutely fantastic work Jan-Qui! I like the natural Calcutta tunic in particular. The first sand coloured tunic is nice as well! ;D
Once again great job!

For any who are interested about what calcutta & raw silk noire fabrics look like up close & personal I've attempted to do them from swatches I have of the materials. All of them are pretty close to their color except the cream which photographed dark. Think of white when you see the cream then you'll have an idea of what the cream calcutta looks like. I always have to put a piece of white against the cream to keep them straight because the cream looks so close to white & it isn't white. I will say one thing about the calcutta, after washing it & putting it in the dryer it came out beautifully. www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=10239101&uid=4017369&members=1
