I sewed a dress for a woman 50 years ago. Her friend had cut it out and never sewed it so she hired me. The cutter had not cut enough for a skirt only a front or a back -- 3 of 6 gores. I tried to explain it to her and she could not understand. Kept saying, 'it's all there!" I finally asked her if she wanted her front or her back covered and put it together. Of course, she could wear the dress and there was no matching fabric to be had. I learned not to try to finish another's project. There is a reason the first person quit.

I don't think this woman was a sewer. Hopefully, she'll find someone to help her add headers and hems and some extra inches.

Oh well, as soon as I get my long arm quilting business bringing in a full time income my career at Hobby Lobby is history.
