You recovered nicely with you backup outfit...too cute!! and the sale on the jegging fabric at JoAnn too!! I must have missed that!!<br /><br />My biggest snafu happened just before my vacation...I was creating a formal dress for my cruise and it didn't turn out AT ALL!! I had one day before leaving and no where near enough time to make anything else (really nice that is). So I ended up purchasing a RTW formal. My snafu dress is still in the closet waiting on me to address it later!Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359520837946001668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-76457716718887913132011-12-23T14:56:22.282-08:002011-12-23T14:56:22.282-08:00Well I have not had a recent one but I have had ma...Well I have not had a recent one but I have had many in the past LOL.

Awhile back I did the exact same mistake on a pair of riding breeches (which are just horsey leggings with a knee patch and no inside seam). I *did* force myself into those pants ($18/yard) but every time I wore them, I could hear a stitch or 2 pop. <br /><br />Yesterday I had a failure with a neckline binding. I just made it work, and even wore it last night. No biggie anymore.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517527498809073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-36102825671871203182011-12-23T05:32:28.455-08:002011-12-23T05:32:28.455-08:00That top I emailed you about...I ended up having t...That top I emailed you about...I ended up having to toss it. I figured out the silly instructions and with some of your help I was ready to finish the neckline. It looked really nice until I went to put it on. The amount of fabric that ended up getting cut away made the neckline too wide and then on top of that the neckline stretched out. I have never had this problem when applying self binding strips to a neckline. I didn't make a muslin, but it was only like $10 worth of fabric from Jo-Anns and I think I might try to pick some more up. If all else fails, I have enough left over I think I could make an infinity scarf with the remains. I used to get so sick over wadders...but it happens to everyone, even the most experienced sewers!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123779237747469831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-63651172747629061452011-12-23T02:59:12.370-08:002011-12-23T02:59:12.370-08:00Your title rings so familiar.

In the past I would get myself into a frenzy over a crash and burn situation and my mojo would flee fearful of my retaliation...lol not so much now... Well I did get my panties in a bunch a few weeks ago over a wadder cardigan. *__^ however, I did learn from it.<br /><br />Merry Christmas.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688900287732221253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-39053934070459049772011-12-23T02:40:50.580-08:002011-12-23T02:40:50.580-08:00You are absolutely right.
