Murphy's Law of Sewing

Fusible interfacings always fuse to the iron.
If you need six matching buttons, you will find five in your button box.

The seam you meant to rip out is invariably the other one.

When you are in a hurry, the needle eye is always too small.

The fabric you forgot to pre-shrink will always shrink the most.

The pattern you wanted to make again will have one key piece missing

If you drop something out of your sewing basket, it will be your box of pins with the cover off.

Whenever the construction process is going well, the bobbin thread runs out.

The scissors cut easiest past the buttonhole.

The magnitude of the goof is in direct proportion to the cost of the fabric.

Your lost needle will be found by the person walking around barefoot.

Collar points don't match and you've trimmed all the seams.

The iron never scorches the garment until its final pressing.

The steam iron only burps rusty water on light silk fabric.

The sewing machine light usually burns out on Sunday.

Pinking shears get dull just by looking at them.

Gathering threads always break in the middle.

Those are great your mind must work double time. I just bought another 00000 dollars of fabric so my daughter can have new clothes for the Maine Demo Convention in May. hopefully they will be done. oh well they will just get added to the stash if not.

These are so true!

oh yea been in my sewing. omg these things happen to me all the time...

I cut out a pattern with  the print going upside down. It was an apron for my husband with a print of vinegar bottles. 

Yes, this is a good one. Sad but true!
