Second been there done that as far as racing against the clock on Saturday to finish a dress or skirt for church on Sunday. And lastly, Ahnalin did an excellent job! Way to show that mean lady she is in fact a "real seamstress"! <br /><br />Love that you have been able to pass on your love of sewing to her.
