That’s it! We are finished with the month of FAIL! It was a little lighter than last year, but I admit I FAILED to really push it hard this year due to life/work/you know the drill. But thanks to all who participated this year! Let’s see how the sewing gods frowned upon you this year.… Continue reading Fail February 2018: Your Fails!
Whoah, where did February go?? It seems as though the online sewing community is all in the same boat – 2018 is starting off busy and the sewing and blogging have slowed down as a result. I am guilty of this myself! February is slipping by quickly, but there’s still time to participate in Fail… Continue reading Four More Days to Fail!
The last two projects I made for my husband, DD, didn’t come out as planned (here and here). The fit was way off and I was very disappointed in myself. I thought switching to a different pattern company may help, especially one that focuses on menswear. So I turned to Thread Theory for his next… Continue reading Plaid Jedediah Ugly Pants That Are a Fail and a Hit!
Oh hey now, looks like that time of year has come around again – it’s time to dust off your failed makes for display because it’s FAIL FEBRUARY, y’all! Fail February is a time when we come together to share, commiserate, and learn from each other’s sewing failures. We spend so much time sharing what… Continue reading Fail February 2018!
Alas, our first official Fail February has come to an end. What a great month to get those pesky projects-gone-wrong off our chests and out in the open! As for me, I normally share my failed projects and go over a closet de-stashing, but I’m currently still in the works of cleaning out my closet,… Continue reading Fail February: Your Fails!
Hi there! I’m back with my second failed project for Fail February 2017. This fail is simply a sizing problem- I love the style, colors, and pattern, but I messed up with that darn sizing! It’s the Seamwork Aurora Tank and I’ve made one before which was a complete win! I wear my first Aurora… Continue reading Fail February: The Aurora Tank of Tightness
Today I bring you my first failed sewing project of Fail February! I made the Seamwork Moji Pants last year and am sad to say they did not turn out as I had hoped. When the Moji Pants first came out, I was intrigued. I wasn’t sure if they would be very flattering, but I… Continue reading Fail February: The Moji Clown Pants of Failure
Hear ye, hear ye! It is now officially February and I, RED of Sew RED-y, do hereby declare this to be Fail February! Let the sewing community come together to proclaim and celebrate our glorious sewing fails! Shout it from the mountain tops! Spread it through the valleys! We are not perfect. Let’s rejoice! OK… Continue reading Fail February
Happy last day of Fail February! We are lucky that this year is a leap year, so we have one more day to share our sewing “fails” with the world. Woo-hoo! Today I’m sharing a Deer and Doe Plantain Tee that is pretty much a fabric de-stash project. I had a big piece of some… Continue reading Fail February and the Awkward Christmas Tee
In the spirit of Fail February, I have a project that probably should not have been. For an explanation of Fail February, check out my last post. Now, let’s revel in some poor decisions I’ve made! I wanted to make DD a little something for our upcoming [cold] trip to Japan. The Paxson sweatshirt by… Continue reading Fail February and the Paxson Grandpa Sweater That Should Not Have Been
