I'm glad I took the time to do a good job because now I will enjoy wearing it without fear of cringing at the sight of poorly matched stripes, something I see often in RTW garments.Sew, Jean Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820699938403952341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591480456197557629.post-80277995148908717342015-09-26T13:50:38.078+10:002015-09-26T13:50:38.078+10:00Thank you Nadine in NC.
