Just flunked Sewing Basics 101….
Sometimes I rush things, inevitably I then stuff them up and am left wondering if that was really a good use of my time! :-/
In my haste to get a pair of tights done for Miss5’s school performance I have messed them up. Which means another trip to spotlight to buy more fabric, and another couple of hours making a new pair.
Today my lessons learnt have been
- Make sure when you know which way the stretch is going when cutting the pattern for stretch tights.
- Don’t guess seam allowances!
The outcomes for not following the above lessons will be
- You will end up with tights that can stretch all the way to the floor, but will not have enough stretch around to allow your daughter to move let alone dance!
- You will end up having to squeeeeze your daughter in to said tights, which will then burst at the seams and be very impractical for quick costume changes!
Thank you for listening, hope this can help others in not making the same mistakes. Or at the very least give you a laugh for the day!
