Bought fabric for a top. Lovely fabric, beautiful colours, thick with a nice drape.

Was going to try a new pattern. Forgot to check the amount of fabric that the pattern called for, assumed it would be about the same as for a normal top. It wasn’t – the pattern required more – so I couldn’t use the pattern.

That’s a bit sad, but OK, I’ll make an ordinary long-sleeve top from a pattern I’ve used before. Cut out the pieces, start assembling. Top does not fit because the fabric has less stretch than the jerseys I’ve used before.

The fabric was a one-off batch at that store and I can’t buy more.

Throw it all out.
