My two latest duhhhh and oooops and yikes!!!!
Making placemats for our church bazaar.
Had fabric layered right sides together, twice so as to cut 4 at a time, totaling 8.
That worked well. Leave then together for the next step.
Next was to cut slashes in opposite corners (only two, not four).
Yup, sure enough ... 4 placemats have the slashes in the opposite corners to the other 4.
So much for a matched set of 8!
The other one ...
Cutting binding strips. Double layered the fabric, so I could cut two at once.
Sure enough, I did my count of what I needed 1-2-3-4-----
Then realized oh crap ... I forgot that should have been 2-4-6-8-----
Yup twice as many as needed!!! Ironically, this was the binding for those placemats above!!
Decided, what the heck, I might as well cut the rest of the fabric into strips
and have that piece of fabric gone with lots of binding ready for another time.
At least it's a dark green ... and a colour I commonly use/need.
But talk about a couple of DUHHHH and OOOOPS and YIKES moments !!!!
