I was really into making this bag, designed by clevergirl. I even got the pattern printed out, material cut, and halfway through – then I realized I shouldn’t have used stretch denim pants. No wonder I didn’t like them as pants, they stretched and didn’t stretch back to the normal shape. I feel bad tossing it, but it’s really a loss. I decided I’ll make the bag with another fabric (one that doesn’t involve stretch this time). If you could see me right now – I’m pouting. wah!
but hey – spring is here!
I’m soo sorry!! THat totally stinks! I get really frustrated when a project doesn’t work out…argh!
But, way to think positively…happy spring!
I am sorry your project got chucked, but your mistake is my non mistake. I almost made a bag out of some stretch denim myself, thanks for saving me the grief!
Oh no – I hate it when that happens! It looks like such a cute bag pattern though – don’t give up! 🙂
Cheer up! Try again with another fabric, I’m sure it will be so cute!
At least you knew when to quit, and didn’t force your way through out of stubbornness! I have had more than one project I saw through to the end when I should have known better and chucked them near the beginning!
YAY for Spring!! My poor daffodils are covered with SNOW!! :o(
Awww that’s blegh indeed when a project ends like that. Oh well, I am sure your next project will be fabulous!
Bummer! But you are right, spring is here!
Oh my gosh, I can totally feel your pain. I had that happen to a little girls dress I was designing recently – I went to try to change something and it took forever and still looked wrong – I hated to do it, but I finally decided to toss the project aside :-(.
On to bigger and better things and you’re right – Spring is here!!

i don’t like it when my projects don’t go the way i want them to
I relate. Tried to make a ruffled flower yesterday. The fabric was too thick.
It’s in the trash now.
We’ve all been there! I laughed when I saw the title of your post.
Silly bag! Really, you’d think fabric would behave wouldn’t you?! There seems to be a bit of this going around at the moment. I made some trousers yesterday and although they turned out fine they won’t be worn for more than a few moments at a time. Children! I must admit the fabric is rather outrageous.
Oh Anna … if you only knew the projects I’ve tossed, taken apart, unraveled, pulled apart, etc … you’d be feeling okay with your departed project. Lessons learned … right??
Here’s something to cheer you up … but you’ll have to visit my blog. Hope this brings a smile to your face today ~j.
This is how I feel about my coca-cola napkins and cords skirt project for my daughter (um, written out like that it sounds really dumb, but I promise it’s cute). I have decided get a new kind of cord and reconvene when it’s cold enough again to wear such a thing 🙂
hehe. It happens to the best of us, I guess! Unfortunately.
Oh, I totally get it. Good for you chucking it when you did instead of torturing yourself. You deserve a good pout. 🙂
I really loved that pattern, and I do hope it gets made! but thanks for posting about the screw up. it’s nice to see the mistakes sometimes.
