By the title of this post you can all guess where I am headed!
I have been busy working away on my SSCS present....determined to finish it and then relieve a bit of pressure in the rush towards Christmas. Last night I was heading off to bed, then realised that with a bit of focus I would be able to finish the handwork on the gift & it would be ready to whip up this morning...what could be easier!!!!!!!
Patchwork...done!
Embroidery...done!
Handquilting...done!
Lining assembled & ready to go...I feel good!
OMG...why is the outside 2 whole inches bigger than the lining?????????
Out comes the tape measure & I realise my error....
SO always check & recheck.
Thank goodness for these tools....
add a dash of inventiveness & it was saved...whew!
It is now complete...I love it & I hope it is loved by it's new owner too!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who does things like this! So glad you were able to save the project!
good to hear the SSCS is coming along well...........
Been there-done that-still am!!!! Great that you were able to fix it-can't wait to see what it is cheers Teri
It looks really lovely. I have been the same, wanting to get things crossed off the list.
I did a similar thing to dd's santa bag, except I cut and stitched the lining the wrong way round, so it got 'dodgied' up a bit to save alot of reworking, and you can't tell unless you look really really closely!
Dont you hate it when that happens. I hope it still turns out okay and it is bigger not smaller!
