My first run in with Miss Bernina...
.... I accidentally snagged the main body of the skirt while sewing on a ruffle
- oh DARN!
Unfortunately no second chances when a blade is involved - in other words there is no real way to selvage that mistake.
What's even more annoying - that skirt was actually finished but I decided it could do with a bit more length so I went to add another ruffle at the bottom.
GAH!
You'd think that I'd learn from that right?
But no!
I then proceeded to make the same mistake not once but TWICE while sewing the next garment. Although at least I had the good sense (if you can call it that!?) to make those 2 mistakes while using the sewing machine, so that could at least be remedied.
Clearly I should not sew when I'm tired & in a bad mood! It just ends in disaster.
What a pain in the you-know-what!!
Just keeping it real - not immune for mistakes here, oh no no no!

Poor skirt! I can see that it really can't be rescued though. Cut it up for patchwork scrappiness. No other thing I can think of. I'll email you in my morning, as nothing but gibberish coming out of me now. Hope you are okay!
Uh-oh! I have to say I disengaged the blade on mine, I'm too chicken, you know, in case I catch anything in it (and I actually have had a couple of teeny catches a couple of times, I know me well!)
Know how you feel Kat...I worked on the same hat pattern yesterday for around 3 hrs...I kid you not!!! I was beyond frustrated and gave up in the end to approach when I am feeling more refreshed.
Hope today's a better one for you :)

Oh that is too bad! Have a cup of tea...I always feel better after:)
Ugh! Darn the luck. I totally agree. I can't sew when I'm tired and in a bad mood either. Better luck next time! :)
Bad Sewing Days - know them well. Sorry about the skirt Kat - Susan seems to have the best suggestion.
I hate days like that. It's good to know though that I'm not the only one who stuffs up!
When Im in a rotten mood I just eat chocolate.
aaaaaaaggghhhhh I see what you mean! Poor you thats a pretty unfortunate boo boo. I agree with Shay....just eat chocolate :-)
I do know exactly what you mean. I was working with a friend last night - I was cutting strips for both of us to make a Christmas Jelly Roll Race quilt. Broke my only rule - I was still cutting after 9pm! I think I did OK tho', except for having to recut the VERY LAST strip! lol
Hope you're rested & not so grouchy by now.....
