This is my self discovery of the day.
When I get an idea I usually spend some time thinking about it, rehearsing the making of it, and then putting together the bit and pieces need to make it.
But then there are times like this morning.
I have some fleece scarves I made a few years ago that did not sell. They are spiral scarves and they did not sell because there were always at least five or more vendors with scarves that year.
So I decided it might be fun the have the twirls cascading down from the top of a fleece hat. Awesome plan:
Go inventory scarves and see what color fleece I would need to get. But hey wait! look I had fleece too. So I jumped right to the sewing machine and tried my idea. Awesome! Prototype looked cool and went together quickly and smoothly.
On to the next one.
Here I tried some short cuts, that did not save me time, I also tried changing the stitching as I did not need stretch stitching on all parts of the hat.
Ugh what a disaster. thread breaking and just a mess as my machine refuse to deal with 6-8 layers of fleece at a time.
OK so a rethink. it had worked the first time, right.
So back to the zig-zag on the heavy layers for hat number three and we were back to a sweet and easy project.
SO watch out for number two, that is where short cuts and logical changes might really mess you up.
