Last week I was in Hobby Lobby looking for fabric for the new girls in my life. There was a young gal at the cutting counter getting fabric for curtains for a window. She told the cutter her window was 45" long and she wanted enough for two lengths, ie 2 1/2 yards.
Now, by my calculation that would cover a window 45" long, but there's be no allowance for a header of any sort, nor for a hem of any sort. I keep waiting for the cutter to remind her that she needed to allow for both.
NOt one word from the cutter, who I later learned is new and knows NOTHING about Hobby Lobby or about fabric.
Now I feel guilty about letting that gal out of the business without telling her about the headers and hems.
What would you have done?
