This is not high fashion. But I’m still gonna make it work if I can. :)
Paule suggested yesterday that I add some embroidery as a point of interest and just go with it. Which was a BRILLIANT idea! I actually went with applique for that instant-ish gratification that I love. I think I’ll add several more of these little flowers and just go crazy, but here’s the beginning.
I need to stitch around all the tiny triangles; and the waistline, hem, and closure need to be finished. But this might be salvaged… We’ll see!
And Cheryl suggested that I add a flap. Well, why didn’t I think of that? I might do that too…

OH that looks so cute! I really really hate it when I mess up like that. Really takes the wind out of your sails…SO frustrating! Looks good now though…can’t wait to see the finished product!

It’s cute! Very cute. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. I’ll bet no one will ever know that you didn’t plan it that way unless they read your blog, in which case they’ll still be impressed. (btw, my husband looked over my shoulder while I was reading this post and said: “Does she have a manikin to put her projects on?” When I responded that yes, you do, he replied that it was a terrific idea and suggested that I might want one someday.) : )

That’s definitely been salvaged, you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself! The appliqué is so cute, I’m just learning to sew and I’d love to be able to make something half as good as that. It must be so rewarding to sew your own clothes :D
