He has asked me to make him the M&M Billy waistcoat/gillet. So i suggested a trip to Fabworks so he can pick what fabric he wants.
"OK but if we go there is no way you are just going to buy 1 piece of fabric" he says.
Well to prove him wrong we went, must admit i was getting palpitations and feeling a bit sweaty, but i did just buy the 1 piece  :faints:
When we got out side he said "i can't believe she was going to cut 15cm off the piece (i wanted 1.5 metres and the piece was 1.65) AND  that she had the audacity to charge you for the bit of extra, what would she have done with the scrap if you said you didn't want it?"
I remember the days if you wanted 1 1/2 yards and there was 2 left they used to give you the piece for the same price as 1 1/2. Oh those were the days.
It's not easy being this perfekt

Such restraint @sewmuchmore , I bet you needed a lie down in a darkened room once you got home.
