I was asked by church if I could work on a sewing project. I said, sure, I can do that. So I get the information. They need fabric menstrual pads for the orphanage in Kenya. Not a problem. I get all the materials and make a sample. It turns out great, and is pretty simple.
So I cut out fabric for 12 more, I pin 12 more together, I sew 12 more together, I clip corners and cut curves for 12 more, Then I turn the 1st one right side out...... Oops, I was supposed to sew them right sides together. I had sewn all 12 with right sides down. So instead of the pretty pink in the above picture, the top looks like this. Of course I didn't have any more fabric and I couldn't rip them all apart since I had clipped all the corners. So I finished them like this.
They are still usable, but I felt really bad that I was giving away something that was not my best work. I have since made some more... so I am also sending some that turned out much better.
Everyone needs a little humility.
