> I don't have a whole lot to say in reply to this, but I did want to say that I absolutely love what you're saying. It really sounds like a positive, productive, healthy mindset you've got right now. And the idea of a costume shop sounds so perfect for you that it's a wonder I didn't think of it myself. Luck to you.

What Sam said. :) And it sounds especially interesting to me, since I'm just sort of setting out on learning very basic costume-making myself. (Darn you, o allure of cosplay!)

Best of luck! Once you get something set up I'm sure I'll patronize your business. :) For one thing, I need boot covers for my costume...

Sosi"can't sew much yet :P"qui
