When my parents were learning Russian for my dad’s job, the only full sentence Mum knew was “the big blue dog is on the ceiling” and I have no idea how she learned that one.

Sewing machines are temperamental at the best of times. There has to be some trick or magic touch that can’t be taught >.< That’s awesome you have the shirts. I outgrew everything Mum made me because she quit sewing when I was ten or twelve.

I think you’re right. Actually, working around an Emergency Room, I know you’re right.
