Same what Hank seez....you must have bulletproof fingers after all this sewing.
You may have been a Seamster? Seamstress, or whatever in your other life, everything you've done sure looks good to these old eyes.

My mother was the seamstress.  I never tried until a couple of weeks ago.  I am using an old pedal Singer.
