Did you ever have one of those crafting days when everything you touch is cursed? That was me last night. I was trying to do some pencil toppers on the embroidery machine and it decided that I needed to stay RIGHT beside it while it worked...the thread was shredding and getting caught, needles were breaking, and I'm pretty sure it was laughing at me. Then when I finally got that done and went back to the wallet I was working on, I tried to speed through it and messed that up too!

He doesn't have cataracts, that's glue. And it's not coming off.

| Holey fabric Batman! |
First was iffy pattern placement (not my best fussy cutting for sure!), then trimming seams before I should have, really crooked topstitching, cutting holes in the fabric when I was trying to rip out said topstitching, and to top it off, finding a spot of dried glue on the outside. I think I can salvage about 1/3 the pieces, but there is going to be a whole lot of re-cutting on my plate! Unfortunately this one really needs to go out, so it can't go into timeout!
