Sewing Can be Really Hard...

I had no idea! I haven't realized that sewing can be so... tricky! I've seen so many tutorials and they always make it seem  so easy. I've took my lesson, once again, nothing is always what it seems!
Yesterday I decided to experiment with some kitchen towels,a cute baby towel and my sewing machine... what could possibly go wrong? Well... EVERYTHING! It was a disaster! -hahahaha-
At first I was so excited that everything was starting to shape up and more and more this simple piece of fabric was looking more like a little purse. I wished!
The disaster
Lessons to be learned:
1. ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS, measure right, measure well, and measure... measure... measure...
2. Don't start with the difficult and complicated, simple patterns are better. Don't expect to manage double-sided, inside-out, purses with pockets that also can serve coffee (sort of speak)! :-P
3. Measure... MEASURE....  and did I say? -MEASURE!
Oh, well... If you don't try you won't learn. I'm not thinking of quitting. I've lost a battle but not the war! It can't be so hard. I just need A LOT of practice, that's all... I hope.
At least one thing turned right and that was the decorative crochet flower that I've used to hide the little snap button.
It wasn't a total disaster after all, don't you think?
I'll try to improve, I promise!

  2. Ευχαριστώ πολύ για την ενθάρυνση. Αλλά φταίω κι εγώ που δεν έχω μάθει να ακολουθώ οδηγίες, πάω ντουγρού και ότι γίνει. χαχαχαχαχα Η αλήθεια είναι ότι έκοψα και έραψα εντελώς "με το μάτι", άρχισα να μετράω μόνο για να δω πού έκανα την "πατάτα" αλλά ήταν ήδη αργά.

  3. lol this made me laugh!! I was like this too when i started - i started sewing when i was 15... practice makes perfect honey and i think you will be fab!! I don't sew that often but when i was younger my granny had to teach me because i had to make my own formal dresses (i am incredibly tall and couldn't find a dress long enough!) so no doubt my wedding dress will also end up being handmade! (im not getting married, lol im just thinking of an occasion for a long dress!)
