LOL At 5'4" I was the tallest woman in my family by several inches
(including all my nieces) until DD got this tall. I'm also the tallest
woman in DH's family by a good bit.
Now, my brother is over 6'. The guys in my mom's family were all slight.
But my paternal uncles and my paternal great-uncles were giants. All of
them were Way over 6'. Dad is just under 6'.
Give us another 3 or 4 generations and we'll have someone in the NBA. LOL
The good thing about being low to the ground....we're stealthy. heh heh

and one I covered with a pocket (maternity jacket for DSIL),

Excellent save, and just what we would expect you to do. BTW, I always
keep some semi-sweet baking chocolate in the house for emergencies.

I'm sorry about the error. I've had a few serger mishaps. I find it
difficult to make it through a project without any errors.
Congratulations on saving it.
