I want to show you something that made me laugh today.
Most of you know I do some work for Sew Beautiful Magazine. I am usually working from first draft patterns. This patterns do not come with any directions. I am the tester, the creator, the guinea pig. So while I am constructing future masterpieces (I hope) I am making notes, in my note book and on the patterns.
I am working on several articles for future issues of Sew Beautiful and I needed to dig out the "Natalie" sleeve pattern.
On the pattern I wrote to myself..... This is a flat cap sleeve. Do not join ends together. "BTDTDDA".
Can you guess what that stands for?
Been There, Done That, Don't Do Again. (dummy) :-)
It is alway good when a past mistake or frustration can bring a smile. I pray that you can look back and laughs at something today~ Janet
Not 10 minutes ago I ordered that pattern! So when it arrives and I make up the dress, I'll know a 'behind the scene' story. Thanks for sharing that funny moment.
ReplyDeleteI certainly appreciate your notations & that I am not the only one to do such. There were many frustrating sewing sessions with many of the Children's Corner patterns. Things that needed to be sewn in a different order or refined. I am grateful that my mother taught me "right ways" to do classic techniques. Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! maybe I need to start doing that to remind myself not to revisit old mistakes!LOL!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant point made! I will be using this on my patterns too. Thanks, Janet.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. I have designed for Australian Smocking &Embroidery so I know that feeling of wanting it to be perfect!
