Well...

I'm making the final turn around home stretch. All that is left is to
hem the skirt (this weekend while the wife is home). My lack of
knowledge about hand sewing is taking it's toll, something I need to
tackle.

The original thought for this post however is to say to those that can
do this type of thing well are true craftsmen (craftswomen,
craftspeople?). It ain't flippin' easy for sure. Also, I'm the type
that gets bent out of shape if something doesn't line up right
(something that happened a few times with this project).

Anywho, hats off, you truly have my respect.

I wonder how much I can sell the machine for on eBay :) <jk>

Giggle...

Nah, have another go. It gets better every time.

Oh, and even after 48 years of sewing, 12 as a professional, I still make mistakes. Today's was to put the wlt in the POCkET rather than the JACKET lining. (Wanders off to recut pocket lining... )
