The problem with internet and mail order fabric shopping is that once in a while mistakes are made. When I saw this knit fabric I thought "wrap dress". When it arrived at my door I wondered "what was I thinking?" The only thought that popped into my head was pajamas. But I don’t want knit pajamas.
Luckily this kind of thing doesn’t happen all that often. And now I have muslin fabric.
I made a muslin today from another old pattern that I used to love. It is cute enough. It needs a little work. Look at that big fold at the bust telling me that it needs darts. When I made this top before it was when I was a skinny minny and didn’t need darts in my tops.
Ha Ha! Not today.
I could fix it, but I don’t think that the pattern is so special that it is worth the bother.
Did I waste my time today? No. I did something I wanted to do. I had fun doing it. And I learned something.
If I bother to finish the edges of the tee I could certainly even wear it, and I would lay odds that most people wouldn’t even notice that big wrinkle because I see people running around in RTW tops that do the same thing all the time. H***, I think people wouldn’t even notice if I didn’t finish the edes. But I would notice. And I would still feel like I was wearing pajamas.
Bye Bye Purple Tee, you were never meant to be.

That doesn’t look like top fabric to me, it looks like skirt fabric to be worn with an ivory or matching orange tee. I plump for ivory, though.

I have a couple of these mistakes! One is called “uh oh, cheap fake leopard skin print from Fabric Mart,” and I really don’t have the faintest idea what I’m going to do with three yards of it. I’d make a big dog mat, except it’s dry clean only.
Sigh.

Actually Mardel I kinda like the fabric for the tee! I think you should finish the edges and wear it, at least around the house or to garden! *smile*
