Going to Fettburg's Tanabata celebration on August 18th? Couldn't make
last weekend's sewing workshops? Haven't got a thing to wear?

I would be happy to teach you how to make a kosode and obi. I will be
daytripping A&S both days. Please contact me in advance off list at
wodeford AT yahoo DOT com if you wish to get together for an hour or
so at A&S.

We can discuss what time of day to do this (I am entirely at the
convenience of YOUR class-taking schedule) and I can give you a better
estimate of how much fabric to bring once we have discussed your
general clothing size. You will also need needle, thread, scissors and
straight pins.

Ever at the service of the kami of exquisitely fashionable taste,

It would help if you informed people when and where A&S is, Hime:

I'm not on the official schedule, I'll be parked under a tree working on projects of my own if nobody shows up.
