Moving Forward Now

I've done my one step forward two steps back dance. I intend to be moving forward from now on. Because I am now where I was supposed to be yesterday in stitching the tote. Here is what I did to fix my stupid mistake.


And then I...


You wouldn't believe how happy I am to see all those little bits of stitching line up. Now for the lining. Going with the KISS rule this time - Keep It Simple Stupid. The stupid obviously referring to me and no one else.

  14. Aaaahh, now I understand what you did wrong! I must admit, I'm a properly lazy sewer and probably would've left it - good job I was away and missed the sign ups!

  17. There's are lot of us out here who use the KISS method- we're just not as forth right and honest to admit it! Your tote is going to be lovely despite all the angst it's caused! And I expect there's a lesson learnt in the process too! ;-))

  19. Oh I just read your previous post, followed by this one, I did 'eek' a bit in my head when I read the last one! So rubbish when you think it's all done and then see a mistake like that :( My seam ripper was a good investment! Especially as it only cost about 70p lol. Very impressed with how it all lines up now though! And I love yellow, pink and orange together!

  21. OH! I've missed a post, must head back to read what went wrong.

    Repeat after me..."must keep up to date with my blog reading, must keep up to date with my blog reading, "

    Your running stitch is great and those bright colours work really well together.

  25. It was worth it in the end, but I bet that was a truly painful experience for you. I definitely stick to the KISS principal, much easier in the long run. I would have thrown mine into the corner with Katy's.
