But, maybe I shouldn't be...
In between the dozens of things that I have been doing, handling, and have committed to...I have managed to squeeze in a little bit of sewing into the wee hours of the evening.
When one "squeezes" sewing projects into an evening after an exhausting day, things are bound to go wrong...
Making a skirt for one of my daughters...I totally mis-measured the bottom band for the skirt and it ended up four inches short!
Making a pair of pants for another daughter...I sewed the ruffle and hemmed them to the wrong side! Wouldn't you know I sewed that seam to perfection, finished my edges, and had them looking beautiful...

So I spent an evening picking...and picking...and picking stitches.
Alas, the pants are done and hopefully my little model will be up for a little photo shoot tomorrow!
This is my life story!!! I always do stuff like this! At least you pick your stitches out...I usually rip mine out in frustration. Looking forward to seeing the finished project. xx - Monica
ReplyDeleteUgh! I am glad it's not just me that this happens to! I sewed a pillow together back to front last night. of course I didn't notice until after i had trimmed the seams and double-stitched the corners!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, what a shame! I do exactly the same thing, but this is why they made seam rippers, so we could enjoy the odd evening unpicking stitches!
ReplyDeleteI think most sewers have done something similar at one time or more! Perseverance brings results. Should soon be looking good.
