I'm just as bad. My son ask me to sew on the new stripes on his Navy middy. I sewed them on just as he handed it to me. Gave them back and helooked at me like I was NUTS. He did not tell me they hang them inside out on the hanger. So it was on the wrong sleeve and on the inside of the middy. He never gave me another set of stripes to sew on.
