Enjoy!

    This is a first for me! I have never seen anyone that dressed up to cut out a pattern. More power to him if he is able to do that. I have to be in my slouchy stuff.

    It’s a fantastic shop with wonderful customer service, even for those with un po Italiano. It’s a tough environment for small children, though, even with the graciousness of the staff.

    [Small children? No reason they should be there. Not exactly the target market.]

    semperficatholic – I would imagine it is a well cut suit, with freedom of movement.

    Agreed, semperficatholic. Stefano looks as a fine tailor should.

    I have been in this lovely shop and stood at that antique (oak?) counter. But never did I dream that they cut material on it!

    Obviously kids need to be at the “look but don’t touch” stage. Like going to a museum.

    But if your kids are old enough to watch, stay out of the way, and keep their hands behind their backs, I bet it is great for them!

    I must repeat myself: Very, very beautiful fabric!
