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!
ReplyDeleteBut, 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!
ReplyDeleteOh no - I hate it when that happens! It looks like such a cute bag pattern though - don't give up! :-)
ReplyDeleteCheer up! Try again with another fabric, I'm sure it will be so cute!
ReplyDeleteAt 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!
ReplyDeleteYAY 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!
ReplyDeleteBummer! But you are right, spring is here!
ReplyDeleteOh 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 :-(.
ReplyDeleteOn 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
ReplyDeleteI relate. Tried to make a ruffled flower yesterday. The fabric was too thick.
ReplyDeleteIt's in the trash now.
We've all been there! I laughed when I saw the title of your post.
ReplyDeleteSilly 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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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??
ReplyDeleteHere'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 :)
ReplyDeletehehe. It happens to the best of us, I guess! Unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally get it. Good for you chucking it when you did instead of torturing yourself. You deserve a good pout. :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
