You're amazing. SteveH. I sewed fashions in my earlier years, and what I wouldn't have given to have one of those little do-dads when I made a christening dress for a granddaughter--that third thing she showed in the posting above yours. I can just see it in my mind's eye how it would work. And I did mine with a needle and ruined about three inches of the ribbon on the beginning end. BTW, were you a line leader and inspector at a factory in your earlier years?
