109764Tired accounts for most mistakes. easily fixable though. So don't worry we have all been there at one time or another. Suzanne
111115So easy to make mistakes when we are tired - even the cleverest stitchers are only human.
But smile - maybe you were destined to "improve" this new design by joining on a fresh piece of ribbon and hiding the join with a lovely bow - or something like that.
3568So easily done! I did just that on my first test stitch for the Christmas Tree ornament I have just posted in the projects section.
140717I am not a morning person, so I don't sew in the morning until I feel I am no longer dangerous driving that thing! (Usually about 10 or 11:00 a.m.) No telling what I'd do!
66553Oh you poor thing. Isn't it so disheartening we we mess up. I do it to I'm sure we all do from time to time. It does make me feel better knowing I am not alone. Hugs for you. xx
4666Caroline - I think you were right to call it a day. Because I am a morning person and up very early, I never sew in the afternoon as I am just too tired and also in the summer I find it just too hot. It is when I am tired that things usually go wrong. I am so sorry that the ribbon got cut off by mistake.
253108Just do a taylor tack on the back side with more ribbon and it will be a save! KAY
85867I've done that same thing. I just made a bow with a loop and then stitched it on. Hope that will work for you.
6963You are in good company. My list would be very long if I had to show it to anyone.
168970Stupidist thing i did was cut 4" off my NEW tape measure with my rotary cutter, even more stupid is i still use the tape measure and forget to add 4". Should i be ruthless and throw it away ????

Pitch it, or measure 4" on a surface like cutting table or front of sewing machine and glue it in place! Or, hey, attach a 4" pretty ribbon to the front of it!

Pauline I am howling with laughter. Should you throw or keep the tape measure? I would ask for a new one for Christmas. I remember having a tape and the metal end came off and I would forget. Eventually it was chucked
42046I do very silly things when I am too tired to be sewing... too many things to list! I do know it's a good sign for me to stop if I put something wrong side to right side though. I hope you get good sleep tonight!
57620We all do such things when we are tired or preoccupied. It's not stupid just a sign that we aren't suppose to be doing that particular part of a project at that moment in time. Take a deep breathe go for a short stroll around the house, get a hug, cuddle a cat, call a grandchild. Change perspectives...as I've learned it falls under that category that 'stuff' happens. You will be able to fix it by simple tacking a ribbon too it by hand or machine. I have faith in you. (long distance hug to you)
