Dagnabit: Great Stuff! I'm glad to hear it, and will be looking forward to those pictures!

Keepoffgrass: I've bought fabric from some of the sellers on ebay and never gotten burned. Most of them are pretty straight-ahead vendors. Look for ones with at least a few hundred sales under their belt and order.

Hey Alan, here are a couple of pictures. You were right on the money with your directions and timeframe. Took me about 10 hours and $38, and that's having never operated a sewing machine before. It's heavy weight cotton twill. Only design change I made was snap enclosures instead of velcro. Teriffic job, you should feel like a proud Papa! Thanks again.

Wow, just wow! It looks *Great*, you did a fantastic job! Wear it with pride, 'cause YOU made it!

Dagnabit...great job. Looks just like mine! Alan's instructions must be the best if two self-professed newbies like us can turn out identical garments. I like the snaps...might consider that on my next one (my sixth...in khaki cotton twill like yours). And don't worry...you'll soon have that construction time cut in half.

Alan...did you note that he uses a framing square, too! Great minds, eh?

Nice job, and keep the iron handy.

Please forgive the slight wringles I had been wearing it all day. (gotta find some more wrinkle resistant material for the next one)
