Step away from
Last night I finally found the red bandana type fabric that I needed for wine bottle bags & wine bottles I promised to donate to a fund raiser dinner this weekend. So I quickly grabbed a bottle of wine to measure the fabric. I cut all 12 pieces and started sewing the first one. There was no way to put the bottle into the bag that I sewed. DUH! I mis-cut to narrow all 12 and I don't have enough material left to make them. OK, the theme is western so all the bottles will be wearing little wine sized red bandanas. I quickly exited my sewing room before screwing up anything else.
So today I decided I would finally start a sheep wall hanging for my self. Cut the first piece of the background...you guessed it...cut it too small. So I stepped away from the rotary cutter and promised myself that tomorrow is another day. Maybe I should have opened that bottle of wine first. |
I have lots of those days!! It seems that nothing can go right..Forget the wine, let's get some Jack Daniels!!!
|
So sad for your bad days. Better times ahead.
|
Here I was thinking you should stay away from the bottle! Hehehehehehe. Guess you could indulge now!!!!
|
alikat, I am doing just that. LOL
|
lol shoot i would of gone with the jack daniels.
|
I would have added another fabric to enlarge the bags, and kept on sewing, but an early coctail works too.!!!
|
Hope today goes better!
|
Act like the bandanas were planned! They will be so cute no one will have to know.
Wine is usually my solution to days like that. |
Been there done that! Even when I tell myself measure twice .... I still have those days. Where you are so brilliant is knowing when to step away!
"This to shall pass" |
Could you add a strip down the "middle" as an accent, and perhaps tie it with that color? Make it look like a planned stripe! Linda
|
I would add fabric, and change the design.. I have this habit of changing the design of what I'm quilting in the middle, and go on.. I haven't been disappointed..
|
i am most definitely a member of this club!!
|
Anyone can put wine in a bag. It takes real creativity to put bandanas on the bottles! Look on the bright side! People will congratulate you for your talent!
|
Wow, I thought things like that just happened to me. Sad to hear someone else has this dreadful condition. LOL
|
Can you keep the wine and give away the bandanas? Just kidding. Dress the bottles with the bandanas and reap the kudos for your "ingenuity" and talent. LOL
|
Cant you add a piece of fabric to the bags to make them fit?
|
Did you change rulers? The reason I ask is because my DH suddenly started cutting all the lumber for construction projects too short. He had gotten a new tape measure and he kept misreading it.
|
Sometimes you just can't win! Tomorrow will be better.
|
Measure twice, 3times, four times etc. cut once. Yep!!sometimes walking away is the only solution. Hope the next day was better.
|
I have done some of my most creative work using 'mis-cuts'...seems like you do, too!
|
Oh boy, been there, done that!!! Definitely should have opened that bottle of wine first...."hiccup". LOL
|
Usually happens when I am in a hurry.
