My latest oops was similar to yours only I sewed a piece of paper that was left on my table to the back of a lap quilt I was quilting. Luckily it was easy to tear off, I didn't have to take any stitches out.
ReplyDeleteYes, I follow you via GFC. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteMy oops was caused by my lazy self not marking a sewing line. It went wonky and I had to un-sew the whole line, mark it and re-sew it.
ReplyDeleteI follow you with bloglovin'.
ReplyDeleteI make ooops all the time! My most recent would be to sew the right side outwards so when I turned the bib right side out I saw that my fabric was showing the wrong side! Oops!
ReplyDeleteI am definitey a follower of your blog! An AMAZING giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteI sadly haven't been able to sew that much lately so no recent opps! Although they do happen quite often when I do have the time to sew!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, Lisa. My sewing oops--I forgot to change my bobbin thread from a dark to white and didn't notice until I had sewed quite a few squares.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely one of your followers.

ReplyDeleteMy last oops was cutting a hole through the project as I cut a seam because I was talking on the phone.

latest oops....while freemotion quilting, the backing got tucked up underneath and took a while to pick it all out. Hate unsewing! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI happily follow your blog on GFC.
ReplyDeleteWhile machine quilting, I accidently caught the edge of the backing. Oops!!! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMine was piecing the fabrics wrongly...i hate ripping the seams!

ReplyDeleteNo major opps recently. Just the typical failures of keeping my rotary cutter right up against the ruler without anything sliding.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY TO FOLLOW>BLOG LOVIN' !
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
HELLO, OH YES,I did it just yesterday! Trying to piece a 60 degree shaped Candle Rug! One was way too small! How can that happen when cutting 6 at a time!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
msstitcher1948@yahoo.com
Fabulous! :D Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHaven't had many ooopses lately because there hasn't been much sewing... but I did once try to make an awesome pencil skirt and it ended up a straight tube the size of my waist with no room for my hips! AH! That didn't work out so well ;)
I had an almost oops yesterday when I almos cut the skirt of a silk dress I am making 10cm smaller of the last bit of fabric I have left. Lucky my sewing class teacher thought I should measure twice before cutting into such nice fabric! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI also follow via feedly ;)
ReplyDeleteBoys I am having a great day filling out all these give away's. Maybe I will be lucky and win something. Great give away.

ReplyDeleteI've done lots of oops lately, sewing things backwards, but the most recent was sewing my quilting glove to the back of a quilt, oops.
ReplyDeleteMy recent oop was to forget to reverse a pattern piece when I was prepping some applique
ReplyDeleteMy recent oop was yesterday cutting fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI`m a follower.
ReplyDeleteI ran out of bobbin, and I didn't realize it for far far too long.
ReplyDeleteI very carefully pieced a quilt back including a pieced block that would also be the label for the quilt. I completely screwed up the origination and created a mirror image of what I intended ... oops.
ReplyDeleteJust the usually oopses here...me, the longarm machine, and stitches I didn't like. I'd rather rip stitches and do it over than to myself every time I see the mistakes.
ReplyDeleteLatest sewing oops...cut a piece of fabric a quarter inch smaller than it was supposed to be and didn't notice until I had sewn several layers together (coasters) and the seams slipped open upon turning the whole thing around...yeah...bummer, cuz it got too small to be used as a coaster lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win!
I made a queen star surround quilt and cut all the hsts 1/4" smaller than the pattern called for. I didn't have fabric to make more so I sewed smaller seams(!) and larger on the non hsts and it worked out OK. It turned out gorgeous and I just hope I quilted it enough that the narrow seams won't be able to pull out.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite oops is not sewing related. I got a letter returned stamped for a better address. Not too surprising considering I had stamped it, attached my return address label and forgot to address it to anyone. I keep the letter in my bill drawer and get a laugh every time I pay my bills. Thanks
I can't think of any major oops lately, just the occasional seam that needs to be ripped out to make a block more perfect. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI follow with bloglovin
ReplyDeleteI do an amazing amount of oops. My latest were sewing the elastic into the front of my daughter's flat front pants. And I used the wrong shade of pink on a piece of tiny patchwork. That was quite a bit of ripping and resewing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
While paper piecing, I got 2 of my 4 block segments sewn in reverse Color order. No way was I ripping it, each block goes to a different guild member. One guild member's star will now be going in different direction. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy most recent oops was attaching my binding to the wrong side of my quilt. Luckily it all worked out!
ReplyDeleteMy latest oops - forgot to open the zipper on a bag when turning it inside out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun book for the giveaway. Thanks for the giveaway.
I've been spending more time with my seam ripper than I care to lately!
ReplyDeleteI sewed some fleece on a baby taggy blanket backwards! thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower also!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!! Today....I trimmed a block too much and lost the 1/4 inch on the point. It will be a hot pad.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe that I did this but I was paper piecing and sewed the template that I use to make the folds on my paper piecing . This is a plastic template. You would think I would have noticed my machine making a noise.
ReplyDeleteI am your follower and enjoy your blog
ReplyDeleteI am making Love Entwined. I English paper pieced the entire zigzag border only to find that the papers were too large so I had to reverse sew and reverse baste the entire thing. Then I had to trim down the papers and baste and sew everything again. Grrr!
ReplyDeleteWell, I was teaching a beginner class and I gave them the wrong measurements for a block. Lol. Oops!
ReplyDeleteYes, I follow
ReplyDeleteHa ha.. I have a recent sewing oops. Just this evening I sat down to make a quick sleeve for a quilt. I had cut and trimmed the piece and folded the end to sew a hem on the end. I put the needle down and started to sew. I heard a funny noise. Uh oh! I pulled the piece out and realized that I had removed the bobbin and was not only OUT of bobbin thread but there was no bobbin in the bobbin case. Luckily no sewing machine was harmed due to this error.

ReplyDeleteMy sewing oops in the past few days is not allowing room for my bags when I square up the bottom. It just became a smaller bag than I had planned.
ReplyDeleteI made a quilt for my aunt that had 4 feature blocks that were paper pieced. I made seven before I had 4 that looked good together. Put the leftovers on the back so it wasn't a total waste.
ReplyDeletejust took out quilting to put it back in

ReplyDeletehad to pick out part the quilting on a quilt. sigh..... didn't have the machine threaded right and it was all loopy on the back. sigh.... thanks for the chance

ReplyDeleteI was making a table runner with evening star blocks, and I sewed
ReplyDeleteone of the blocks with the points facing wrong. I had to take it apart, and not only did it once, but twice. I just quit for the day, and
waited until the next day to start again. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I am a happy follower of your blog by e-mail & GFC.
ReplyDeleteI recently made a zippy bag and forgot to unzip the zipper at that critical point. Arghgh!
ReplyDeleteOne time while sewing the binding on a quilt, I stitched through my finger and was bound to the quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy oops was accidentally cutting into the quilt where there should not have been a hole, so I added a patch and some hand stitching. It actually looked better after the booboo :) great give away, thank you! textilerecycler@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI trimmed and somehow manged to cut my block in half cuz it was folded over on itself and somehow I didn't notice.
ReplyDeleteI used the wrong cutting instructions for the wrong color in a quilt kit. Luckily I was able to correct and had just enough fabric. Thanks. I am here for the party! crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
ReplyDeleteI sewed a whole row of blocks upside down to the other row. Had to pick it out and do it right.
ReplyDeleteI follow by e-mail. Thank you
ReplyDeleteMy latest was making a big star quilt with 18" blocks. I sewed all of them correctly except one block and somehow reversed two of the colors. I didn't even notice it, my sister did. Good thing it was before I had put the blocks together!

ReplyDeleteI read about your Oops this morning. I was sewing the straps onto a bag and discovered that not only did I sew the straps on, I sewed the top of the bag together with it's other side! Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteI was putting the final border on a quilt. Had just enough fabric none to spare, I cut 1 inch to short! Said a few choice words and ordered more.
ReplyDeletePurchased two different whites and didn't realize till it was only binding left to go.

ReplyDeleteMy oops was not watching out for the alignment of I spy blocks when attempting a nine patch ,

ReplyDeleteMy latest oops was a pucker in the backing fabric while I was quilting - lots of unpicking involved!
ReplyDeleteI'm a happy GFC follower!
ReplyDeleteMy oops this week was not leaving enough fabric on my paper pieced block so it fell apart. Now to make another
ReplyDeleteI have a tendency to sew 3 layers instead of 2 =\
ReplyDelete(bottom layer doesn't lay flat and more of it sneaks under the foot then it should, making an extra fold.)
How 'bout them 'eers? Missing my home state.
ReplyDeleteI follow via Bloglovin and have for some time.
ReplyDeleteThe latest oops I made was discovering my fabrics shifted and an entire strip had not been sewn together as I thought. Time to rip out the whole thing and redo ..Yes I used pins the 2nd go round.
ReplyDeletemy latest oops was sewing a basket together which ended up with the batting on the outside - lots of unpicking involved!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower :-)
ReplyDeleteMy biggest, latest OOPS was to measure once, cut once---hence I cut the wrong size triangles. LOL I know better. :d
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a faithful follower :)
ReplyDeleteI follow you and my biggest oops is the tension on my stretched Juki on a frame. Dang, I can't get it right and have railroad tracks on the backs of my quilts.

Hope I win.
I cut into my fabric just yesterday when trying to trim a thread...how annoying. =) Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteAlready following on bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to cut a piece of fabric and had other fabric on the table under it. I had lifted up the piece I was trying to cut, well not high enough apparently. I accidentally cut the fabric below. I was being lazy. Bad idea, I know. I won't make that mistake again. powersjlc at gmail dot com. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy most recent sewing oops...instead of pressing open seams I scorched my hand...and now will have a scar to remind me to be careful when ironing! Thankfully the iron was so hot it didn't hurt, if that makes any sense.
ReplyDeleteMy latest oops: I use fusible batting & I press it from the front first & then flip it over & press from the back - to make sure it's completely fused & I don't have any pleats on the back. On my latest quilt, I had a bad section in one corner on the back so I had to reposition the back & front to smooth out. But then I noticed what I thought were threads coming through a seam, but it was a seam that had fallen apart. I had to pick out & patch a block in that corner, while keeping the rest of the quilt fused. Thanks for the great giveaway.

ReplyDeleteThanks
My biggest oops landed me in the emergency room because I kept cutting long after I was so tired that I couldnt see straight.My ruler slipped and I cut myself badly enough for seven stitches. It was a very, very valuable lesson. Now, no matter how excited I am about a project, I stop when I start getting tired.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
I quilted a corner of the backing fabric in when it folded over and I didn't notice. I did a lot of FMQ before I finally did notice. Lots of picking out stitched followed! Thanks for a chance to win what looks like a great book.
ReplyDeleteoft times my brain does not engage.... was making a pillowcase and forgot to double the length:( so...used the "oops as pincushiosn:) dfnanney@gmail.com"
ReplyDeleteMy latest oops didn't happen while quilting, but it has stopped me from being able to quilt for at least 6 weeks. I was going to Physical Therapy to recover from hip replacement, and I fell going up some steps, and broke my wrist! Splint up past my elbow for 4 weeks, cast for at least 2 weeks, then hand therapy!
ReplyDeleteI sewed the backing of the quilt when I was machine quilting, didn't know it was there and took forever to rip out.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks great, seen a preview on Amazon. Retro quilts are a true inspiration.
ReplyDeleteA big oops- ironing the fusible interface on the wrong side of the fabric :)
ReplyDeleteI'm already your follower :)
ReplyDeleteI was quilting and when I was done I examined the back and noticed my two year old must have tweeked the tension knob halfway through....lots of un-sewing for me.
ReplyDeleteI just unsewed an entire quilt top as I used two different whites and it was glaringly obvious.
ReplyDeletelatest sewing oops was probably not having enough fabric for a backing when i went to baste a quilt! eek.
ReplyDeleteI started sewing binding on banner blocks and after doing about 5 of them, I realised I hadn't put any backing fabric on. There was just the top and the pellon! Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty quiet in the oops dept, although I did sew several HST's together with one right side and one wrong side together the other day...
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the chance to win! I recently made a quiet book for my brand new etsy shop (about shapes) and one of the words in my book was spelled wrong! A potential customer pointed it out and I was so embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteI'm making a chicken quilt. The wings are supposed to be dimensional but what did I do...sewed one of them flat. With small stitches. :( Took a long time to unpick that! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI haven't sewn anything to a tablecloth, but I did loose a needle in the couch when I was doing some handsewing. I found it a few hours later when I sat on it. Ouch! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. I hope you are keeping a copy of the book for yourself too!
ReplyDeleteI follow you via Bloglovin and email. Thanks for your great blog!
ReplyDeleteI am currently squaring up hundreds of scrappy mini bowtie blocks I made early in my quilting journey. Many 'oops' moments as I struggled to find that elusive scant quarter inch seam! It still eludes me from time to time. Ha! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing oops happened the other day when I was basting a quilt... for some strange reason I put the flannel on the bottom which developed a bunch of wrinkles. I had to baste the entire quilt a second time with perfect results!!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI follow you via Bloglovin' - thanks!!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, BL.
ReplyDeleteOh, haven't we all done something like that? I sewed the lining and the bag together once...and not like it should have been done. I hate ripping out seams! And like you, I put the "mess" away and go to bed because it always happens when I am trying to do one more thing late at night!

ReplyDeleteI made a border for a round robin swap. My sewing was great. The simple addition for the border was my problem. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteBeen doing counted cross recently. Most recently I sewed several layers of bunched material together then had to rip it out. Thanks for the giveaway. Simply Retro looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteI started sewing my binding on the wrong side. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI SWEAR I am not copying the person above me! Last night I had half a side of binding on before I realized it was the wrong side, grrr :)
ReplyDeleteAbout six months ago, I sewed through my finger. I have no idea how I let that happen or how I didn't pass out as soon as I realized what had happened! haha
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog - thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHello! My latest oops was unpicking my paper pieced teacup for my penny sampler class not one, or two or three times. No. I'm not going to tell the number. That wouldn't be an ooops it'd be an OMG! Hahaha
ReplyDeletePerhaps my LATEST oops moment was when I got so carried away with what I was sewing [at the machine] that I actually ran over my finger, just a little!!! Thanks for the chance to enter.
ReplyDeleteCheers Gloria

I don't think I've ever sewn a tablecloth or the like to anything I've been making, but I have gotten borders and backing flipped over and quilted multiple layers together. (One quilt I did it on I was too lazy to go and unpick the stitching, so I just trimmed the border in by an inch or so all around and got rid of it that way. Ridiculous.)
ReplyDelete(clumsy.chord(at)gmail.com
I had to rip out about 5000 free motion quilting stitches. I don't call them oops though, I call it Un-sewing. :) Thanks for the chance to win. Really like your blog.
ReplyDeleteI follow via bloglovin. Thank you for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMy latest oops was taking food from the owen too early.. :D
ReplyDeletemmyheartishere@gmail.com
My funniest oops was....While working on a quilt for my grandson I had to jump up and answer the phone or the door, I don't really remember why, anyway I left my machine in the middle of a applique, power on. I got busy with something else and suddenly I hear my machine sewing. WHAT! I ran in to see what was going on and there sat my little puppy on the foot controller. He only sewed a couple of inches. Everyone suggested that I leave it. My grandson will be tickled to know that Schmit helped make his quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway. My latest oops was this week. I was making a quilted Chrismtas stocking for my daughter, it looked lovely then I added heel and toe pieces on and finished it all off. After sewing it together with the lining and turning it the right way round I found that my heels did not line up at all, in fact they were nearly an inch out. How did that happen!

My biggest pops lately was sewing thru my finger while quilting a quilt top. Luckily I didn't get any blood on the quilt.
ReplyDeleteHaving gone back to work, I have been very guilty of the worst "oops" of all - not making the time to sew! When I do, I feel so much more satisfied and centered, but at the end of a long day, it is so easy to just veg out instead. :-(
ReplyDeleteI am a happy follower of your blog - thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI have Camille's first book but not this Retro one and would love to be your winner!! my latest oops was when I looked at my completed Block of the Month from my local quilt shop and saw that the entire left corner was turned opposite from what it was supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteAfter ripping out that corner and turning it, sewing it, and then looking at it...I saw that I had turned it wrong AGAIN! Ackk! I finally finished that block, and now it looks good. I wasn't using my head I'm afraid! LOL!
I have followed you in the past in My Favorites folder...but often I forget to check that folder. So today I signed up via email. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI bought valences for my living room that were too wide. In adjusting them I stitched to rod pocket closed. I need to think first, sew second! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteemyerly(at)wideopenwest(dot)com
I cut a fat quarter up wrong and don't have enough now to finish my block. :( Thanks for the opportunity to win that great book
ReplyDeleteI love the book in your giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win. My "oops" hasn't happened yet. Uggg....wonder what it will be???
ReplyDeletemidwayfarms@hughes.net
Sewing oops... you mean like having to rip out free motion quilting because I've sewn the backing over into a flap?
ReplyDeleteI haven't had an oops lately. Probably because I haven't sewn anything lately! My last one was forgetting to change the thread I was using before I started machine quilting. Lots of fun...NOT!
ReplyDeleteI already follow via GFC
ReplyDeleteMy oops was when I day dreamed and ran over my finger with the hopping foot of my LA machine. Luckily no needle puncture!
ReplyDeleteBarb@Witsend
Grrr... so fresh it seems like it just happened this morning...oh wait, it did! Needed to add borders to a 10.5" block to get it to be a 12.5" block...easy right? Not when you calculate wrong and cut the strips too narrow. Sewed on wonderfully straight and pressed out smoothly only to find it was too short! Dag Nab It... it was the 3rd ripping session of the morning for an easy pattern. Gave up, walked away, read some blogs and came back. Ripped it out and put on huge pieces and cut it down to size...now it's off to it's swap partner.
ReplyDeleteI basted a quilt with a major pucker in it. The seam ripper is still waiting. Thanks for chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteLovely little story - and keeps us smiling and light-hearted.
ReplyDeleteMy 'blooper' is to cut on the sewing line.... and then wonder why the sizing is all wrong... tiring - or a sign of tiredness, as you note, when you do a daft mistake that takes (sometimes) so long to fix - or changes the plan completely... hers to serendipity: new patterns and shapes that you don't see coming!!

I was sewing strip sets and had sewn my first pairing and was pressing them and surprise, the fourth one was wrong sides together. how can that happen when every thing was set up to order?! luckily, this has always been my favorite error and i'm a seam ripper diva. thanx for the chance to win that great book.
ReplyDeleteI sewed a border to the wrong side of the quilt so that the outside edge laid inside the seams. oops, a long un-sewing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I had several oops doing paper piecing for a bee block last month.
ReplyDeleteI'm following on bloglovin, thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have an answer!! My latest oops was this quilt http://yxtishka.blogspot.com/2013/11/blog-post_1.html- made for the contest Black-white+ For some reason I thought the greay color counts as between black and white7 I made my own pattern6 carefully picked fabricks with needed colors and 10 days before the finish I realized I was wrong!!!! Do I need to say how frustrated I was??? But! I still had another 10 days! And made another one - http://yxtishka.blogspot.com/2013/11/blog-post.html I love them both!
ReplyDeleteI made a baby quilt for a dear friend. As I was packing up into the post, I realized that I had forgotten to quilt a wee section! I ended up sending it along as it was - for nothing is as perfect as a new baby!
ReplyDeleteI have not done that trick yet, I did chain sew some quilt blocks and then realized that I sewed the wrong parts together...
ReplyDeleteI am a new GFC follower!
ReplyDeleteI sewed some blocks together but backwards.
ReplyDeletedana.cargill@gmail.com
I sewed a whole chain of blocks together that were flipped right side out. ugh! like 40 of em I had to take out.
ReplyDeleteI am also a follower.
ReplyDeleteMost recently I sewed something reversed. Before that I was trying to improv a little house and must have sewed the roof four times before I was even close. Thank you for participating in the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI'm happily following.
ReplyDeleteAs a new quilter I have had my share of oops. The most recent was when I was cutting strips for binding and didn't move the previous strips far enough away from my ruler and cut right through them with my rotary cutter. :( Thank you for sharing! anglanouette at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog. I use Feedly to keep up with your wonderful posts.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing oops occurred because I live in Australia and have grown up with metric measurements (100cm = 1 metre) and then I decided to make a dress for my daughter. I worked out that I need 25 5' squares for the base, this does NOT mean that the skirt will measure 1 metre around it means the skirt will be 2.5 metres or 100" when finished!!!! THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE - especially when your daughter is a small, petite 3 year old!!! Guess who is getting two rainbow dresses!
ReplyDeleteMy latest oops- I was in a hurry to bind a casserole carrier so I thought I could just finish it up on the machine. Never pinned it down . What a mess to rip it all out. never take short cuts.

ReplyDeleteMy latest oops was while pin basting a quilt finding I missed a corner sash piece. Since it didn't make a huge difference I let it stay that way! That was difficult to do since I like perfection! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for quite awhile! Thank you so much for a wonderful giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI bought all the materials needed to make quillows for my Brothers girl... it helps if you do the math correctly! Sheesh! You would think someone with an accounting background could do some simple math!
ReplyDeleteI make oopsies all the time! Yesterday I made a wallet with a zipper that didn't turn out at all. Live and learn, right?
ReplyDeleteMy latest oops was trying to make something that was a little out of my experience zone. After several hours of cursing, I gave up on it.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog via RSS. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe most recent mistake was a moved my cutting template and didn't realize it till after I made the cut..ugh... pottershands2@hotmail.com
ReplyDeletethanks for the great giveaway. my most recent mistake was sewing some blocks together the wrong way three times. I should have stopped and come back to it the next day.
ReplyDeleteOh dear,where to begin with my quilting mishaps??!! OK, so most recently I decided I would try quilting feathers in the border of a quilt. All was going fine until I got into the corners...then it got ugly,quick. Oh well, another learning experience!
ReplyDeleteI haven't sewn in a while so no oops to share!

ReplyDeleteI had the edge of my block flipped up on the backside, so I had to pick out the seam I had just made! Not earthshattering, but always a pain in the neck.
ReplyDeleteLatest oops - Sewed fabric onto ribbon - and ruined the ribbon in the process. So sad! ( the ribbon was supposed to be decoration!)
ReplyDeleteMy recent oopses tend to be of the measure once, cut twice variety. It's a good thing I had extra fabric. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of this book.
ReplyDeleteToday I was making my daughter a hooded shirt and something went wrong. The opening in the hood turned out tiny!
