Things were going so smoothly on my new dressing gown, until Tuesday, I ironed the bottom where I like a coloured band on, halfway through I stopped and adjusted it. Next thing I had a hole in the top side of the lining fabric I was using doubled up. Not the one I usually use which I think would have survived.
Overnight I considered, take off, insert a piece or put another band on top, which I went with; stitched ready, wasn't right so another try, still not right (on the other side). So I've gone for the next option. I picked the scissors up and cut the lot off and consoled myself, wasted work with the fact that it was longer that I wanted it to be and now it would be just right.
I hate wasted sewing hours.
