Well Spendlove told us about her dopey moment yesterday, here is mine today.
I am making a baby blanket. I pinned the backing fabric on last night and sewed it all together today. Then I had a thought, 'where is the gap to turn the blanket to the sight side?' Yes I had sewn it up so now I need to undo it and carefully turn finish it off. I hope that now many of you will admit to your dopey moments. I will give a flower for each one.

I'm making small covers for note pads, got it all done and was so pleased, went to put the note pad in only to discover I had the put the pocket on upside down. So starting from scratch and this time will pay attention

I probably have done that in the past. Hope you get it right the next time
I will. Not my first "do over" or my last
I embroidered one upside down, so I had. choice - embroidering a larger design on the front or cut it in half and do a fancy piece of fabric in the middle (or throw it in the bin which never is an option for me). So I opted for the scissors.
Notebook pads drove me crazy until I realized -- finally -- that they open for right-handed people. When I opened my embroidery-covered books they were always upside down. Yep, you guessed it, I'm a leftie. lol
I'm a leftie, too, so backward notebooks suit me just fine.
They would work well when writing in Hebrew ...

Hooped a tiny baby pullover sweater and wrapped it all around the edges and pinned, then stitched my little monkey. Yes, I forgot to remember which way was "north" or "UP". When finished, I unpinned, de-hooped, cleaned up the back and held up my cute little brown sweater with an upside down monkey. Looks great as long as baby LIKES to hang upside down. :( Instead of Live and Learn, this is Stitch and Learn.

Maybe a branch above the monkey making it look as if it is hanging from a tree. I have done stuff like that
I too have embroidered in the wrong place and the wrong way

Made a few baby trousers, recycling of a few almost new T-shirts that a few nasty stains, simple design, 2 parts, ribbing for top and bottoms. A no-brainer, or so I thought - and that showed, one of them had very short and wide legs and a long and skinny upperpart. I noticed before I serged on the ribbing. So I deserved at least half a flower :)

May I laugh at this? Once I sewed a sleeve in the neckline It would have needed a contortionist to wear that one.
Have a whole flower

I have done all that you posted. Forgot to leave opening for turning more then once but this one is a new one for me.
Squeezing a old bottle of glitter glue to see if the glue is still good.
Result: glue still good.
Bottle not so much.
New design on my sweater
Does this count for a flower ha, ha?

I have a list of these bloopers. The problem is I keep doing some of the mistakes over and over. Like not double checking the thread colors on my multi-needle. I really didn't intend on stitching out a blue cat. And then how many ITH projects have I been tired and placed the backing fabric only to find I put the right side on the inside. The lesson I keep having to learn, stop when I am tired.

Ya'll, my been there, done that t-shirt collection is out of control. My latest duh moment was this weekend and not sewing related. I put on my bathing suit bottoms and as I was looking for my hat and glasses, I kept thinking either I had gained a lot of weight, I had gotten some too small bottoms out of the drawer, or I was today, built stranger than normal. Turned out I had put my left leg through the waist and the right leg hole and the right leg through the left leg hole and then through waist opening. Bless my heart.

My mama told me I didn't have to tell everything I knew.
Thanks for the laugh but glad to hear that you solved the problem
