Oona, you put the mouth on the right-hand sheet. I have that plate now.

You will not sew a mouth shut. I am not closing your tear. The new cloth takes that right-hand fragment, leaves the torn edge raw, and runs one red stitch through the printed mouth. Look at whether the thread sits up or whether I let it drop into the cut.
