Why it's important..

to read the directions, even on your own design.



See those ties? They're supposed to be about 1.25" higher than they are.

*sigh*
I am not taking it apart to fix it. If I had noticed it sooner I'd have fixed them...maybe.

I'm fairly happy with the bag other than that..



and I'm loving the paisley applique :)




In other news, I just finished this new bag in Hot Blossom, coming soon to an Artfire, Etsy or eBay store near you!




So, How about a giveaway!
I have a copy of Peppermint Twist Tree skirt by Briarwood Cottage that I will send to a lucky person.



How do you enter?
Leave a comment here with a sewing mistake you've made that you *didn't* fix!

That's it!
A winner will be selected using Random.org on Thursday and will be announced in the Sew and Tell Fridays post.

Good Luck and even better sewing!

I once sewed a sash onto my daughter's homecoming dress when the zipper looked wonky around the waist area :P

You know those little side handles on wristletts and cosmetic bags? Well, I was making about 5 at the same time and one of them ended up with two handles. Didn't discover it until I was all done. I now have my very own bag for my purse with 2 handles! It creates some interesting discussions!

Your bag is lovely.

A mistake I made: Not checking to make sure scraps were thrown away, and I accidentally quilted a piece of scrap onto the back of my quilt.

Thank you for visiting and leaving the kind comment.

oh no!! I just got to your comment about the giveaway, and I've missed it. I'll go ahead and play along anyway! I quite often don't fix my mistakes when I'm sewing unless it messes with the functionality of what I'm making or makes it sit funny or pulls weird. I have only unpicked quilting once even though my quilting is never perfect!
