Turning the pockets is easier than felling the sleeve cap seam. Like all things, though, it just takes practice. Speed develops over time. For trainees, I used to cut about 20 12" X 12" samples and let them go to town. I used to tell them once they had 10 good samples in a row, they were ready to do them in production. It wasn't uncommon to find stitchers learning new operations after regular hours. Management tends to still be in the shop about 1 - 1 1/2 hrs past going home time. @LisaB

I can't imagine ever being good enough to turn those edges by hand and have such a wonderful finish. I really enjoyed looking at such fine work. Thank you for the shirt pictures.

I, for one, will use that hand tack technique on facings from now on. Talk about Duh! Why didn't I come up with that myself since I am so smart. Also found myself fascinated with the origami lampshades, but I have the kind of psyche that needs to stay away from that stuff if I am to get anything else done. But, still, lots of fun. Thanks!

Thanks for reminding me about the lamps lol. Just realized I must have bought a copy; after searching the internet it turns out the original is a Le Klint, from Denmark. And a lot more expensive of course. Bet it's a lot better quality as well. Mine is cracked and nearly falling off the stand. But I'll check at the local store if they have more of the copycat or know where to get them. If not I'll send you mine, cracks and all. Had a great time, miss you.

It is lovely to see the work of a master craftsman. I work very hard to make my pockets look that good! Your point about honoring people in the work they proudly do is well taken. Oh my!
