What a waste of a 'day' sewing.
Had the whole day to sew, but did not start till about 11am. Spent 1 hour trying to find my glasses that I need to sew.
Thought I would make a zippered pouch, they can't be difficult , everyone has been making them right? But then I quilted it, then decided to combine it with the nice lined tutorial someone posted. My needle broke, I ran the zip part off the end of the zip and had to use a new zipper. It was turning out bigger than I thought, but ok a big make up bag is ok. Too deep and narrow opening. unpick, sew , unpick sew. Boxed corners wrong so it looked so stupid.For some reason I thought the zipper tabs were on the outside, so when mine were inside I unpicked and redid it. Now I see the end of the tutorial and how neat Jenny's are inside...( I did wonder why she did not turn under the ends of the tabs-) That will teach me to watch the tutorials several times all the way through before I start. As I already unpicked the tabs once the short zipper ends are fraying so I don't think I can redue them.
Annoying as I said to a friend yesterday 'Oh I'll make you a make up bag' and I choose her favourite fabric from my stash. The piecing and quilting took me time, and looks ok, and the neat edging along inside top is nice but not happy with it.
Needless to say this was a practice one, and it was only a small amount of fabric, at least I did do any major mistake on a huge quilt.
Thanks for reading my rant. Sorry
