    Great to watch you solve problems you encountered and that you matched the pattern so well it doesn’t show at all. Many new sewists don’t realize that’s possible so don’t try, but it definitely is. Helps that the pattern matches on the shirt before you start, across the side seams and button placket. That’s something to look for in the thrift store before we even buy the shirt!

    By the way a lot of personality in your kids is a good thing.
