"An abnormal, persistent, irrational fear of failure"
One of my daughters asked me to make her a bag to carry her lunch to work. l decided I would monogram it for her. It has been a while for me to use my machine and I was stressing about doing something wrong........and I did. I am now in the process of trying to pull out 5,000+ stitches because this is all the fabric I had for this bag!
Oh, do not feel bad- I can't tell you how many times Jeff has come home and told me after hours of laying intricate tile patterns he's had to pull them up and start all over again because something wasn't measured right, or he didn't figure in a shelf...and with me- it's writing. I type out a page and hit delete instead save and have to start all over again! But at least it's repairable- even if it's inconvenient. It's going to look good when it's done and she's going to love it.
@eahopp I realoly appreciate that positive support Beth thanks @30pics4jackiesdiamond glad you think so !! @wakelys Thanks Sue I think I lucked into a descriptive moment, if you can call having to pull it all out luck! @olivetreeann oof!

Oh my Lord! I hated sewing in Home Ec and 4-H ‘cause I couldn’t stand ripping out and redoing. Not gonna take up sewing now. Brilliant photo for that word, though. Lemonade from lemons?
@mcsiegle Mary I’m so sorry I didn’t thank you for this. I’m so happy you think the photo is good and absolutely lemonade from lemons
. @myhrhelper thank you Kathy it turned out fine in the end. I got all the stitches out and finished the bag and mailed it to her. https://365project.org/grammyn/themes-and-comp/2024-02-04
