Not Sew Perfect

I have this beautiful daughter that is going back to school in a few days. She wanted a handbag that was not too big but was bright and fun. Baby Girl picked out the fabric and I got to work. I got this bright idea that I would monogram her bag with her initials but in order to do that, I needed to practice a bit first.

 

I got a tad sidetracked. I decided to try my hand, AGAIN at machine embroidery. I found a cute design for my youngest son. The design turned out great on the test fabric . . . that is until I turned it over and realized that I had embroidered the back of the shirt to the front. LOL Good thing it was only a test. Luckily for Tiger I got his shirt done right and he’s thrilled.

 

But I had a bit of mommy brain and deleted the photos off of my computer. But if you follow me on FB then you saw those pictures last week. Thank goodness I can laugh at myself now. A year ago I would get so frustrated if I made a mistake I would put my machine away for a few weeks and try again. Now I just laugh, rip the seams and start over.

 

Two weeks and lots of questions to my friends Kelly of Daisy Layne Boutique and Keith of Mindless Pursuits got me on track. Although I didn’t quite get the monogram in the middle of the back. But that’s ok. I’m not going to stress over it. Baby Girl loves it and can’t wait to take it to school with her. So what do you think?

Awwww....a pink bag! That is so cute! You did a wonderful job, Tiff. I think the embroidery is neat too!
My machine doesn't embroider, I do everything by hand, which gives the item a unique style, I think :)
I'm sure your daughter is really proud of you!
