I still make a lot of mistakes when sewing, mostly through lack of focus or simply experimenting. The great thing is when you discover that not every mistake is a disaster and the unpicker does not neccessarily have to be your constant companion. Such a handy tool, but gee I HATE UNPICKING!!
I need some more bibs for very vomity baby and thought I could use some fabric leftovers and make it up as I go along. All went well until I attached the binding and found it was way too thick and looked funny.
I spent ages making that binding in the first place, so the thought of replacing did not appeal. So, I ran a zig zag stitch around the inside of the straight stitch and voila! It anchored the inside of the binding down and balanced out the look.
Now I just need to figure out how to use my new snaps press and I can make a bunch more š
Just popping by from The British Woman's Blog. I love the bib and the zig zag edging looks great.

The bib looks great. Only you know there was a mistake. I've had a few of those mistakes too. Take care Carol
Therese, it's hard to believe how much you need them! I could be the rag lady with all the little cloths and things I have dotted around the house for quick mop ups!
Well done!!! Looks great!!!
cute bib. I will be making a heap of bibs and spill rags after Christmas for our little one.
