I always think of the saying "Measure twice, cut once" when I sew. I had to laugh at the name on the bottom. When I was little I use to write my name on everything. Even the underneath of the coffee table. My sisters tease me because they said I would write my name and then say, "I didn't do it". lol! I don't remember, but hey I've always loved to write.
