Good morning all.  Princess, the pattern is made by NEW LOOK (which is a division of Simplicity).  It is pattern number 6178 and says right on the package &quot;EASY&quot;.   I got it at JoAnn&#39;s but I think WalMart carries New Look also.  There is also a spaghetti strap shirt and dress pattern included, but I thnk I will probably just wear a tank top.  I bought some sandals at Kohl&#39;s at the end of the season that have the orangy color of the skirt in them.  I had no idea what I would wear them with, but they were very cute and on clearance, so couldn&#39;t pass them up, so will wear them with the skirt.  I also bought another material that is mainly blue that also has cruise ships on the border but it is a different pattern than this one, so will get started on that one as soon as I finish Greg&#39;s shirt.  Princess, looks like, from our tickers, that you will be sailing the day before we do in Nov.  We got down to -18 last night and another 3-4 inches of snow, so I hope that those predictors of an early spring were right.   Mary Lou, I hope you will post pics of Jim&#39;s party, but come to think of it - you never post pics....what is up with that?   Tonia, good luck at the dentist.  Jackie, be careful in Mexico - we always enjoy going into the border towns, just be very watchful.   Mercedes, hope you have a wonderful, relaxing time at your vacation home, we will miss you here.  Rose, Bon Voyage (you lucky duck).<br />
Hope all of my crazy friends here have a marvelous weekend....
