sorrowful sewing


i'm still trying to learn how to work with fabric. hats off to those of you who do it and are wonderful at it. it's really quite complicated. this fabric postcard ended up on the chopping block at the last minute, which had me removing the sand bottom floor. i initially cut the postcard to 4 x 6 i thought but i must have made it 4.5 x 6.5. so when i went to sew the back on it i saw that measurements didn't align. needless to say i had to remove part of the design and then it left no room for bubbles on the side either. i was quite annoyed that it wasn't right since i worked on it from right after supper til almost midnight last night. i get frustrated when things like that happen. i should have been more careful. i wonder how many of these i'll have to make before one turns out with no mistakes?
