2 Wrongs Don't Make A Right

When sewing attacks!
I Just turned my machine off ... and walked away very slowly!
This looked great in my head, I love a bit of blue/red and white!!
it was going to be a pinafore, it looked awful, and frumpy - the combination just didn't work! So, to try and selvage something, I turned the bottom into a skirt, which I don't like either!
Not a great day in the sewing room.

Bugger that red daisy fabric is gorgeous. What about a round neck top or dress? Those two combos looks like they would go well together.

Maybe if you come back to it later, it may look different to you? That's what I ususally tell myself. Also why I have a large pile of UFOs!

Hi great blog you have. hmm. i can relate. just this evening I slid my machine to one side very, very slowly before it went through the window.

I haven't been back to the machine for a while since a similar experience. best to get back on that bike.

Ooh, I love blue-red-white, too. The fabric is awesome.... maybe it needs to be broken up with some plain white? Maybe a wide panel along the hem? Just thinking out "loud".

Today I traced out a dress for MissM, then proceeded to cut it out along the sewing line rather than the seam allowance line. Grrrrr. I think I can save it, as I only cut about 10 cm along the hem, but I am still annoyed.

is it the colours and patterns, or the shapes of the garments?

just remember the golden rule
*everything* goes better with ric rak.
i think green, yellow and orange stripes round the hem would de-Yank-ify the colours and flip it back to HR Puff N Stuff land :P
