"Okay, so now at the end of our day, we have a new pattern that can be as many shirts as we want, we have a front and a back and a neck. And like I said, we've created a bigger seam allowance for the sleeve because that will just fold under and at the bottom, that will fold under as well, then everything else is a half inch. And we've got a nice perfect pattern, some extra rugs or something so they can be recycled, because I mean, all can just be rearrange and be recycled to infinity right? And we're ready to make shirts forever if we want or not. We make Christmas presents for everybody or holiday presents. Alright. So, I think one to think about is don't get frustrated. If you get frustrated, just redo it. I think in the beginning, when I started sewing, I would sometimes end up with projects that were nothing but garbage. But that is the way that I got good, and that is the way that I continued on. So, definitely if you tried it once and it doesn't work, try it again, and try it again, and try it again and then you'll get perfect."
