Have a laugh at my expense:

I'm testing a set of quilted zipped purses using the easy zip method. I got to the part when I needed to open the zip before putting the purse back on when I realised I'd forgotten to put the zip in. The fancy stitching that stitches the zip in place was done, so there was no alternative but to start again!

Sounds like my Aunty Hester's ginger cake. A very nice cake that had no ginger in it as she didn't like ginger. Well Sue you have come up with an innovative purse which is for those here who haven't sewn a zip in and are not sure about it

Happens to all of us now and again.
I was just thinking how fast the mugrugs were to make once I had organised my stuff and cut out all needed fabrics and batting. Went like clockwork. Then when cutting the seams of one of them I realised I had forgotten to add the lining before stitching the last colour to that particular one. So I needed the sewing machine after all; at least I had a nice guideline :)

Been there, done that. Laughing with you. I actually did the same mistake twice on the same project. Did not learn the first time.

It can be an easy open pouch. I am sure it looked lovely! If you only mess up occasionally, then you are doing better than most -- me included

I've been there. I think the embroidering of the machine mesmerizes us.

Don't you hate it when that happens? It's almost as annoying as sewing a pants leg together instead of individually....at least that's what I hear.

I'll never laugh at you, only with you. There's not a one of us that haven't done something like this some time. If there is ,then just wait their time will come sooner or later. LOL. /Lillian

I didn't laugh at the time - I confess to using some bad language!

Not laughing at you at all either. I spent nearly an hour today unpicking a setting stitch and then the whole shape of Santa in zig zag - I'd missed a whole step by hitting the the number on my screen accidentally -aaaggh! I did the same as you Sue and had to start again. Love Chris
