I probably would have unsewn just the points and tried to make them rounded to fit the piping (would that even work?) And I know it's cold comfort, but that busy fabric pattern makes it really hard to see the mismatch, at least for me. Oh, and we need to thank cheap quality RTW that so many are now used to seeing such things in purchased garments, it now seems normal.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-8719683450546825932021-09-22T21:59:53.246-04:002021-09-22T21:59:53.246-04:00This gingham is so cheerful, it makes me smile to ...This gingham is so cheerful, it makes me smile to see it.
