I once made a dress. for my older DD. that she was to wear in my friend's wedding. No one noticed, until the pictures came back, that I had sewed a sleeve on wrong side out. Every time I go to her home, I see that picture. My worst 'boo boo' is immortalized on her living room wall! I just smile and ignore it, but at first I was mortified! My friend said that no one else could have made her wedding so beautiful. (At least the mistake wasn't on her dress, which I also made.)

But it has compensations, I almost never make a mistake making a symmetrical design....go figure!

I just hate it when that happens! And it has happened more than once! A goodnight's sleep will cure that problem, or more coffee! LOL! Patty

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one who does things like that! Sometimes I wonder if I'm losing it...

I hope you don't mind that I'm laughing my head off at this. I was crocheting a new pattern for a baby afghan a few yrs. ago & I had to restart that darn thing four times. My husb. kept sayng "JUST LET IT GO". I said I just can't let it defeat me. I'm the same with quilt patterns now. I just have to be smarter than that. Yeah right. Ya think ??? LOL

I did that very thing last month with a block I was sewing together. Ripped it out 4 times, put it down for a week came back and did it again, same thing took it to quilt class let someone else do it. took another week to put it together.
