Thank you SO much, ladies! This so far is extremely helpful! I'm going to see if Faten can also help me make costumes, because otherwise, I have no one. I'm going to reestablish my sewing skills and buy those books, and look at these links in more detail.

Another important question. Where, in your opinion, is the best place to buy items like these? Fabrics I can get from my local fabric store, but what about coins, trim, fringe, etc, etc? Any suggestions?
