The pitcher on my recreational league softball team said
that he had an extra jersey because they spelt his name wrong on it and so he
got another. He said I could have it
since I got picked up half-way through the season and was too late to get a jersey
of my own. He said maybe my wife could sew some fabric over his name and put my
name on it instead. So he brought the jersey
to the next game and I brought it home for Barb to fix. Barb went to the local Jo Anne's Fabric and
wanted to buy some iron on letters but they had to be ordered. They came in the next week and Barb sewed
some of her own purple fabric over his name and ironed on white letters for my
name and then coloured in the letters with yellow highlighter pen to match the
teams lettering and it looked great.
When I wore the jersey to the next game, all the guys were impressed and
one guy said Barb could get a lot of work doing sewing for the guys. I told him that Barb had a few choice swear
words for me when she was trying to get the puckers out of the fabric. Anyway, we didn't have too many more games
until the end of the season but after the season was finished, they gave us the
best dressed team award. I think Barb
helped us win the award.
Wow!!! Yes, a sewing perfectionist! I am sure it looked perfect!
