I put the LATE in Belated Birthday

My best friend's birthday was October 20th. Back on March 21st I bought a yard of this fabric she sent me a link to. I figured there was plenty of time to make her present, but I didn't want to start too soon in case her measurements changed. So instead, I waited forever. I got her measurements right around her birthday, and completed the present in...January. Yes, I was three months late. She still loves me.
