It's so painful and I can't believe how dumb that was. I knew the iron was on!!
Anyone else have any silly-painful mistakes in the sewing room?
How about burning your tongue with a hot glue gun? When they first hit the market, I was helping make Christmas wreaths for our foundation party. It was my first time working with a hot glue gun, so if course I hit my thumb with the gun, full of glue, and it BURNED!! Well my first reaction to a burned thumb was, of course, to stick it in my mouth! Burned the devil out of my tongue, much to the amusement of my co-workers. Of course it made the newsletter.
