Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped.

Rachel gave me a little pink tank top to stitch up for Katelyn, and I thought that this owl would look cute on it. I had a photo with the colors of the skirt that she would wear it with, and I carefully picked out fabrics and threads to match. Joe and I had just gotten back in town, and I admit that I did have a sip or two of wine with Mandy,and I was a little tired, but upstairs I went to finish the project that I had started.

I used an orange stripe that I had gotten from .the Atlanta Sewing Center in Duluth, a green polka dot from my stash, and added a blue feather accent. I was getting ready to stitch out the eyes and the details that were going to give life to the applique.
As I ran my fingers over the fabric to admire my handiwork, I felt it... the dreaded lump under the hoop.
I was so excited about this design. The stitching is so pretty, not just ordinary satin stitches around the fabric, but I guess you will not see those in this post.
So, girlfriends, when will I learn?
I am an early bird, I sew best in the morning.
I am a cheap date, and even a glass of wine makes me just a little too relaxed to sew.
So I am off tomorrow, I will make a trip to Walmart to hopefully find another little tank top, stitch it out and get it in the mail to Birmingham. Hopefully this will be a lesson learned!
