My mom sews. Years and years ago, we found a Hallowe'en costume pattern for a kimono, and she made me a housecoat based on that pattern. It was super comfy, big sleeves, nice waist tie. She just made it with a plain cotton fabric with a nice pattern. Well, I wore it to pieces. So, she got this very serious heavy cotton drapery fabric from Fabricland and made me a new one that was much hardier, and also had this really nice dramatic black and white pattern on it.

Fast forward a couple of years, and I'm in a bar and Coach's Corner is on one of the TVs, and there's Don Cherry wearing a suit with the exact same pattern as my drapery fabric housecoat.

So... do the curtains match the Grapes? (ba-dum-tssh)

I often wondered WHERE he got those suits. Haggis for Breakfast Nov 2019 #5
