    Thumbs up Hotdog pillowcase Mistakes (whatch Out)

    I decided to try the pillow cases, I printed off instructions from pdf files on line. I left the first set of pins when I pinned the body to the cuff and the accent band. And I also laid the cuff wrong side to body wrong side and cuff came out wrong side out. When I rolled up the hot dog, and brought the bun around it, I put more pins on the outside and sewed all the seams like that. Then I had a terrible time getting the first pins out. I just finished the second one to the set and did OK now. This was a mess but I got It now.

    Good you got it all straightened out. It's so frustrating when we do silly (I refuse to call them dumb) mistakes.

    Ditto on the silly. I made a bag a couple of weeks ago and left a pin inside between the actual purse and lining. Had to take a pair of pliers and twist off the head so I could pull the sharp part out. We all have those moments.
