Great sewing boo-boos (part 1)



Just how many times can one fail to see the words "on the fold" when cutting a pattern piece? As we like to say here at Chez Hoppo Bumpo: once, mistaken; twice, unfortunate; three times ... stupid.

    I hate cut-on-fold pieces - we've all confused them with "cut 2" pieces before, don't you worry!

    Ah yes, the old "3 times...stupid". Don't I know it.

    oh, so many times. One of the big reasons for a sewing hiatus and for not using any patterns since my return.
