Plackets again by
duh who
I was just looking in my Reader's Digest sewing guide, and it shows another
placket style. I think its a faced placket that is used with French cuffs.

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

Also, she needs to know...
