Retraction

There is a person that helps me out periodically, by doing the sewing that I ask him to do.  His name is Ralph, and I have slighted him.

For this I apologize.  Ralph often does very good work for me.  He understands the concepts of rolled hems and french seams and understands the need to keep things in line and not allow any fray to show.  It is not fair not to mention him, and it is doubly not fair to take credit from him.

This is, therefore, my retraction about the Cetagandan Funeral garb.  He did the base line work on it - rolling hems and straight assembly.  I did to all the hand work on it as well as the cutting (and that took forever), but he put the basics together.  This is doubly appreciated as he did it during a time when I had several things happening at once and all of them came together so that I would not have been able to meet all of the obligations without his work. 

I hope that this helps.
