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?
Ohmmmm . . . Ohmmmm . . .

Lol, no worries you have lotsa zippers! You're still cool!!
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
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!
Thanks Mark . . . I think I went over my quota.

For real, Kat.
You know how to sew? You never cease to amaze me. LOL
Wow. Thanks Erick!
Wow! Scary! That must be really, really sharp! I've used my seam ripper a LOT of times.
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.
You're so cute! And funny!
One more week till the fun trip! Exciting!
Me and my sister are sooooo excited, Akemi!!
