Shocking the employees at Jo-Ann's by duh who
I went into Jo-Ann's tonight to get some interfacing. I'm not sure how the woman got the idea that I was "repairing" my own shirts. When I said "Repair? I make them from scratch." And then there's Betzina's books that never deal with men's clothing. Its such a hard life living with this...
