Looking for talented seamster!

[Dr_Chill]

I have been looking and looking for a kataginu online and have been unable to find any for sale pre-made. A kataginu is a ceremonial sleeveless jacket with exaggerated shoulders (vest) worn by a samurai.

I have found lots of links to where you can purchase the pattern.

I have no craftyness/sewing skills, and even lucky enough to draw a half-decent stick figure!

I am looking for a talented seamster(ess) who would be willing to take this project on! Shoot me a PM if you are looking for a challenge! Thanks!

I found one person on ebay who sells them custom made to color and size specs. They're retailing for roughly what it would cost for you to have one sewn. (Maybe a little more or less depending on the speed of the sewer.) I charge 15 bucks an hour to sew for friends (such as you!), 20 for people I don't know, and it would probably take me 2 hours, maybe 2.5 depending how how you want the edges finished. Then add in the cost of fabric, and either the cost of a pattern or the time it'd take me to draft one from a site online -- and well, you're encroaching on about 50-60 bucks anyhow. They make two versions, and they also have a buncha other stuff in a similar vein they sew too.
