Darnnit!

My day was much better today, except for one unfortunate incident. I was powering through on my Little House dress and got it almost all cut out and started assembling things. I was sewing the darts on the polonaise, which is a cotton print flatlined with voile, but one of the darts was sewn wonky, so I was picking out the stitches using the seam ripper - and I put hole in the lining! ARGH! So frustrating. Now I need to cut out a new lining piece. I still have a good amount of voile, but it's such a waste of fabric and it's so annoying to redo the work, outlining the pattern piece with removable fabric marker, cutting it out, lining it up again with the print. Plus all my other marker lines keep fading on me, so I keep having to redraw them. Also annoying. Yeesh!

Argh, I literally just did this, only it was the fashion fabric I put a hole in. I was able to hide the hole in the seam. But I was pretty pissed.

Super frustrating! But I'm glad that neither of our incidents was completely project-wrecking.

How frustrating! Have you tried using a pencil and marking just inside the seamlines? (Assuming you're marking seam lines, that is.)

Bummer. Voile can be such a drag.

I know! It's everywhere!

I am marking seamlines. That's a really good idea! I will definitely do that for the ball gown stuff which is next.

I think the seam ripper was the culprit. I'm using a new one that came with the new machine and it's just not as flat as the usual one I use so it's tougher to get under the stitches. Plus I was rushing. :p
