Handwritten Lyrics Request

Hi Reddit, I'm a lifelong Nick Drake fan and pianist working on a full album cover of Pink Moon for my youtube channel. For the video, I'd really like to add Nick's handwritten lyrics on the screen to add character and visual appeal throughout. I already have decent quality photos of tracks 1-4 from the vinyl reissue and tracks 5-9 from the Island records CD booklet, but I'm at a loss without Harvest Breed and From The Morning.

I think they might be included in the book "Remembered For A While", but I can't justify hundreds of dollars for a book+shipping to find out. I can't find them anywhere on google images either.

If anyone has photos or scans of these two lyrics sheets, I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks <3

Struggling with Wrinkling on Front Buttonhole Placket

Hi all,

I learned to sew last year and started making my own button-downs by taking apart my favourite shirt and cloning it part by part, seam by seam. It’s going well for the most part, except for the buttonholes. They come out of the sewing machine looking clean, but after one wash the front placket gets terribly wrinkled around them. Ironing helps somewhat, but not enough that I’d feel comfortable wearing the shirt to work.

I don’t really have a proper pattern or instructions to work from, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong or how to fix it. Google suggests it could be machine tension/settings, or maybe I need stabiliser or interfacing. The original shirt I cloned doesn’t appear to have interfacing in the placket, but I’m open to adding some if that’s the solution.

Machine is a modern Janome with a standard buttonhole presser foot and recommended settings from the owners manual. Fabric is 100% bamboo viscose, sewing thread is all-purpose poly. This is my second shirt, and both had this same issue.

Any tips/suggestions would be hugely appreciated. I'll take all the help I can get <3
