I remember when I was probably 14 or 15, I knew mom was working on a sewing project. She had made a dress and it called for a cowl neckline but she didn't like cowl necklines so she put a facing on it and just made a regular neckline. She did a really good job on it.

I would have killed my kids if they walked into my bedroom unannounced like I did that day, but that was the habit. The first thing I saw was mom standing there trying on her dress. She had done such a good job making the neckline perfect, and since cowl necklines didn't have zippers - well the only problem was the neck opening was too small. She tried her best to force her head through the opening, I walked in just at that moment when she was getting frustrated with it and just trying to make it work. I fell on the bed laughing my head off, it looked pretty funny. She got so mad at me, she just said "shut up and get out!!!" I couldn't move. We laughed about it later, but she then had to modify the modification, I don't remember ever seeing her wear that dress after that.
