Well, GOOD SHOW! I am proud of you, and know that it is only a matter of time before you do another one.
Yes, the seams were difficult on the small/tiny strips, but our minds are so wonderful! As soon as your brain figured out that it wasn't all that easy? It began trying to come up with a solution, because (whichever side is reasonable) is telling the part (that is creative) that it has been done before, hence it can be done again ... and, we all know that the first time is always scarey, but the second time - - a snap!
Trust me like an old woman who has lots of time to sit around egging everyone else on! LOL
Honestly, it is only one strip, and it isn't too hard to take out and turn around is it?
Tell you what ... send it to me, I will take it out for you and send it back to you to sew back together .... seriously! If it will help, I can do it! <wave>
