Lesson Learned.

The day before Chris and I left for Sedona, I decided I needed a new top to wear on the trip.  I dusted off the handy sewing machine and set out to make this:

I finished it just in time and was oh so proud of myself!

Got out the iron.

Pressed the top.

Snapped a quick picture.

Then tried it on.

My problem?  I should have tried it on before I finished all the seams and pressed it because once I tried it on, it looked like this!

Notice the ruffle in the sleeves?  It's not supposed to be there.  It's supposed to lay flat!

(by the way, I look pregnant in the picture above.  I am NOT.  Just a weird angle.)

Needless to say, my ambitious attempt to make a top for our trip didn't work out as planned.  Instead I took it to my grandma when I got home and had her fix it for me.  

She has the time.  

She doesn't have a toddler.  

Plus, I was just too lazy to do it.  

Go figure!
