Default I thought I was doing soooo good....Not!

I had a "free" day today to do practically nothing so I decided to work on my medical face masks for the children with Congenital Heart Defects. I've figured out how to make these where I can chain sew them & it's so much faster than making one at a time. Well I was making 22 this morning so I proceeded to cut them all out & then start chain piecing the first seams together. There is a front & back for each mask so that means I am actually sewing 44. I got the first seam sewn together on all of them (all 44) and the started clipping the curves when lo & behold I realized my mistake! I had sewn the wrong seams together & now I have to rip them all out. Ugh! I just wasted a whole morning due to my lack of paying attention to what I was doing. Believe me, that will never happen again. I've learned my lesson to "mark" the first seam before I make a whole bunch of these again.
