I hate when that happens

So, has this ever happened to you?

I really take my time matching up fabrics, buttons, patterns.

But it just happened. I was really sure about this combination. I loved the fabric, I loved how when I cut it out that the pattern seemed to fit so well...I loved the button I chose. I started to sew.

And then...ewwwww! Was I blind? How could I have chosen that fabric to go with that? Hmmmm.

So, no, I do not get frustrated and throw the whole thing out. I don't ever do that. I wait. That's what I'm doing now. Maybe I'm waiting for my grandmother to come to me and tell me how to fix this.

And I have this feeling that she'd be very disapointed if I threw my hands up and threw it all away. After all, she was a depression era woman and didn't throw anything away! :)

I'll post what I finally come up with. I'm going to fix this somehow.

...But Just Don't Tell My Husband

Well, I was at the fabric store yesterday getting a zipper (which my husband reminded me of about 20 times before I left) and of course I looked at the other offerings.

Hey, there was a line at the cutting table, what could I do? Oh, yeah, I didn't need to get anything cut...

Well, the point is that I got some really lovely, creamy brown wool felt that I can't wait to use at the holidays. I love this type of fabric, plus the color is neutral so I can match it with vividly colored beads, fabrics and brac brac. Plus, I used my 40% off coupon and bought matching brown trim.

So, when I get these holiday items made up, I'll show you, just after I finish all the other projects in my sewing room...might not be for another 10 years.

Anyway, happy sewing to you all!
