It seems that with this sewing thing I spend an equal amount of time going backward as I do going forward. Dunno why, but no matter how careful I try to be, I keep doing dumb stuff. I've sewn a zipper onto a side seam instead of the top. I've sewn on pieces upside down. I've accidentally ripped out stitches and then had to resew them again. Once when I was all pau with a project and was just tidying it up by snipping off some loose strings, I cut a puka right in the front of the bag. For the coin purse below, I decided that I didn't like the zipper that I had already sewn on. It ended up being too heavy and stiff for the small-sized purse. It looked too bulky. So even though I was almost done, I took it out.
And guess what I did with this nifty rotary cutter that I just got?
I accidentally sliced a precious red zipper in two. Yup. Clean in two. Howzdat?
J: lol you're human like the rest of us. I'm glad that I was not the only one that made oopsy when sewing or doing crafts. I use to do perragamo and worked on a gift which took 8 hours using a magnifying glass. Just when I was about to finish I perforated right thru the image. Luckily when it got mounted it didn't show. (it ended up looking like a paper doll kind of thing) I gave up with doing that after the incident. I told the recipient you have the only work I ever did. -N
It's scary to me too, Kay. I put off buying the cutter for a long time because it seemed too dangerous, but it's very convenient in certain situations. I just have to make sure I'm really, really careful when I use it.

That's OK Jalna! The Wonder Woman of Oahu will be allowed a few mistakes. ; )
I read somewhere that they called seam ripping "frogging" because it's "rip it" "rip it". I feel your pain!
Hahahaha, thanks, Susan!
OMG, N, I had to look it up. So much work!

Wow! Scary! That must be really, really sharp! I've used my seam ripper a LOT of times.
