When you're doing more of this
than this.
I had 5 blocks, to sew together to make a row. Simple eh? Nope, not for me today. There are 2 different blocks alternating in a row, but it still should be simple shouldn't it? Sew blocks 1 and 2 together, sew blocks 3 and 4 together, sew the pairs together then sew block 5 on the end of the row. Well, that's the theory. I sewed them together in the wrong order. I unsewed it. I sewed them together with a couple of the blocks upside down. I unsewed it. I finally got the row right, sewed it to the previous row, then realised it was upside down. I unsewed it. I sewed it together correctly, finally. Pressed it and walked away for today.
Been there, done that. Good choice for today. Tomorrow they'll go together perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI think you and I sew very much alike! The last project I was sewing on, I congratulated myself for not sewing anything together wrong. Then I put the blocks up on the wall, and yes, you know it, several were wrongly assembled! So I guess the good thing is--you noticed~!
ReplyDeleteBest remedy is to walk away - tomorrow they'll go together like a dream :-)
ReplyDeleteLuv...Ann
Oh dear - have a break - have a kitkat..LOL. Tomorrow is another day.
ReplyDeleteBeen there. I once sewed a zipper upside down in the back of a dress. Probably the best sewn zipper of my life but getting into the dress was not happening. This to shall pass.
ReplyDeleteI think every single one of us has done that!!!! In my younger days, it would end up in the trash can. Now, I just unsew & try again.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hate days like that!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Been there done that! It was definitely time to walk away. It is sooooo frustrating when I do that. Hopefully the next time you sit down at your machine, things will go better.
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens! But I love the Lollipops fabric that you're using! I can't wait to see what you're doing with it!
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem today. In fact, I took one block and cut it to pieces!!!! I decided to put the quilting aside for a bit and concentrate on something else.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I hate days like those! Yep, time to walk away.
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies! I know that fabric you're using. It was in my Moda Lollipop Kit, isn't the blue pretty?
ReplyDeleteYep, I've had days (or nights) like that. Tomorrow will be a much better day, so just spend some time looking around for more inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been there too! Thankfully, I've learned to listen instead of forcing it. That always ends badly.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is a new day...I hate days like these.
ReplyDeleteUgh...but your blog looks so cute and springy!
ReplyDeleteSue, if we lived on the same continent, I would say there is something in the water causing this seam ripper epidemic! I had a bad day yesterday and ended up throwing four blocks away. Today was much better at the machine.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make a stitch today; and that seems even sadder! I am happy that you found time to sew today and hope things go well for you next time.
ReplyDeleteThat is so frustrating.....hope you have a better sew day today!
ReplyDeleteIt is frustrating when that happens. You've got everything straightened out and ready for a new day!
ReplyDeleteI'm an expert when it comes to unsewing as I call it.
ReplyDeleteIt's always worth it in the end.
Oh Sue, you make it sound so funny!! But I can sympathise, as I have done very similar things myself, and it IS very frustrating. Hope you have better luck with it when you try again. Hugs n Blessings from Sue.
