Silly sewing mistakes
Have you ever made one of those silly sewing mistakes? Come on, fess up. :-)
Here is mine for today:
I've been working on some totes. I thought it was time. So I'm sewing along, la la la. Yes, it's fun. Imagine what I discovered upon completing the bag body?? Can you guess?
Yes, it's true. I discovered that the pocket has been sewn on upside down. Who did that?? Certainly not me! Well, ok. It was me. And I'd not even had a glass of wine or anything! I do have a very distracting 4 year old though, does that count?
So I went in search of my seam ripper. Do you suppose it was where it should be? No, of course not. And what about the extra ones I keep on hand. AWOL. It required about a 20 minute search through everything twice. Found it on the floor under the ironing board? How did it get there? I always put it back. Every time! (Hmmmm........I've already mentioned the distracting 4 year old....)

I couldn't face removing it completely so I unpicked the top edge and attached the lower edge. Unfortunately, the sewing does not measure up to my standards. Oh well! I'll keep this one then! Next one for blog giveaway. And I've learned a great lesson. All good in the end.What has been your crazy mishap of late?

I usually do silly things like cutting things out with the fabric print upside down.
Talk about last minute.
The bag is just lovely mate, will look forward to your giveaway.
It still looks gorgeous though, hint hint LOL
