Just venting.......I just finished spending the whole afternoon sewing a sweater together and I sewed the 2 fronts together backwards and I didn't notice until I was sewing in the last sleeve and I had to rip the collar out because that was done by picking up all the stitching around the neckline after the shoulders were sewn together........I have it all apart again and just needed to get away from it for a few minutes....thanks for listening!!! GGGRRR.........

I hate it when that happens. Your doing the best thing taking a break from it.

I know how you feel. Have done that, but usually with sleeves. This makes it double frustrating having to rip the collar out. Relax for a little bit. I am not sure you are capable of relaxing knowing all that you do. Good luck with un-and re-doing.

Now you could have been creating a innovative design there. I hope that it works out correctly in the next sew up

Was it a dark colour? Sure makes you mad when this kind of thing happens.

Understand your frustration - definitely time for a quiet cuppa _ isn't it odd how these things always seem to happen when we are absolutely determined to finish a project that day - thanks for sharing this with us - it makes us each smile and realise we are not alone when it comes to making time-consuming mistakes.

Not been there....................not done that (yet)........................and given your evident state of mind, I shall do everything in my power to avoid even being tempted to try any project like it. Other posters here clearly understand your pain and so I shall simply say...............grab yourself a lovely strong cup of British builders tea and watch the antics of the cats for half any hour.

Walk it off, just walk it off. I'm glad you noticed it- I'd have probably worn it thinking the entire time what a strange pattern this turned out to be. LOL

Hi Vicki, I think you should stick to sewing things for your cats, Ha! Ha!, these things happen to the best of us. Hope the GGGGRRR is over now and you have worked the jersey out now. Hugs Maureen

A venting moment indeed. Did a nightgown for my granddaughter with fairies standing up everywhere except the top of the back panel that had them facing downward. I could have spit nails. My daughter said not to worry as my GD is always standing on her head anyway. Was so angry with myself but then it was a chuckling moment when I calmed down then laughed. Sorry for your "inconvenience".
