Oh Sarah I do it all the time and kick myself later. Sounds like you made a good save in the end though. Hugs Joyce

I found a wonderful zigzag on my machine which looks like a darning stitch - it is holding it all together.
15141Oh my Sarah,... They say stupid is as stupid does and I'm pretty stupid because I never learn from my mistakes. (well almost never). ROFL..... Things like that are easily done even if you are careful.... Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you did a fab job of fixing it and no one is the wiser. (except us and I'm sure most of us won't see it.) hehehe.... Hugs, Terre
36693you know what is good when a "stupid" thing like that happens, next time you are sooooo careful not to do it again....this is not saying something else might happen, but that particular thing usually will not....part of the "experience is the best teacher" heehee! We have all been there.
1795Yes, quite often! Sometimes with disastrous results. :-((

711Don't beat yourself up. It happens to all of us at one point or another. If we are tired or in a hurry, then it happens more often. Wear your pretty shirt and ignore the tiny blooper. No one will know the difference!! Be nice to you! You've had a hard day. :) Seriously.
16260Sarah, I'm sure we all mess up some times. Hugs Yvonne

It is not the first time and it certainly will not be the last!!! Hugs Sarah.
132773Yes, I messed up the monogram on my granddaughter's dress and was very upset with myself because the "fix" did not look too good. But her mama told me not worry because when she washed it the first time the red piping trim bled all over the white corduroy and it really was a mess then! It was an expensive little dress,too. Shame on the manufacturers, but it sure made my mistake seem a little less serious. :0)
5431I made a zipper bag,forgot to open the zipper and when I was done I cut off the pull tab while trimming around. We all have stories we could tell but look at it as a learning experience, We'll know better next time. I bet you are the only one who would have noticed the pin tuck was out of place

67271Yes and remember never to do any sewing when you are tired. Made a perfect jacket and was so pleased with the result. Only had to do a last bit on the sleeve seams and decided to use the serger. Well it still turned out perfect if you wanted to permanently walk with the one hand behind the back. Could not fix it with anything - not even a button this time. Brings me to my second comment, my dad once asked me about the button at the back of the kid's sweater. Only way to fix the toddlers discovery of what a pair of scissors could do.
12667I was trimming the stabilizer on a large quilt block when I clipped the fabric, too. It doesn't show too much because it's a print fabric, but frustrating just the same. Maureen
2079But of course. There are too many to list...... Thank goodness we are human.

158553I was Embroidering my Grandsons Logo on his Dickey shirts for his D.J. Business in Penna, and as I was cutting off the stabalizer on the back of the shirt Logo, my sizzors snipped the material, I had to zigzag to close the corner slit. Was so furious with myself, I had to promise to buy him another shirt & emb & send ASAP. He is soooo Particular. Hahaha! So, YES, I think we all know what you mean!!! Hugs, Judy
92391These are the Oops moments. Done that also. No collar to cover up so took more stitches out and pulled up into where the seam could cover it up.

Anita - I also thought of doing that but the hole goes downwards and not in line with the collar. Thank you for comment.
89895Been there, done that. We all have little mishaps now and then - but sounds like you fixed yours really nicely!
11257Sarah I'm not sure what exactly pin tucks are but I'm sure that you have saved the mistake in a very crafty way. Don't be so hard with yourself -we all live and learn ;o)
Greetings, Bettina

Hi Bettina, they are very fine pleats usually only about an 1/8th of an inch wide or less. They are very effective on women's blouses. Love Chris

Chris thank you for your help. LEO dictionaire has not found it and I thought it must be some kind of rivet. First I could not imagine Sarah with that kind of shirt but then I thought maybe she starts a new carrer in the biker-business *lol*
Greetings, Bettina
33986Just an accident... We have all done things like this... Give yourself a break. I know it is maddning.. just one of those things...Suzanne
