Ow! Work in progress

This week I have cut out and been sewing a denim skirt.  Two out of three children were asleep so I thought I could get it finished,  I sewed the waistband in place and trimmed the bias binding.

 Trimmed it with my big orange sewing scissors...and, yes, did you guess?  I also trimmed my thumb!  Ouch, ouch, ouch.  
Maybe night time sewing after a 4.30am wake up and non stop day is not such a great idea.  Too  much rushing.  I was just so keen to finish something and blog about it, not to mention wear it!  I am off to watch Wallander instead.

Anyone else have a sewing related injury?  And can you guess my pattern?  I think the bias binding gives it away if you know this pattern.

    Ouch indeed. My friend had a sewing injury so severe she had to have antibiotics! Her finger was infected by a needle!! I try to avoid sewing when tired but that can be a bit tricky as that is often (lol). I just find I make more mistakes. I think I know what your pattern is and I can't wait to see it finished!

      I think I managed to avoid bloodstained fabric! I did enjoy the Wallander but have to confess to covering my eyes at one point. :) I am such a baby xx

    That looks and sounds so painful! I do the same thing all the time, whenever I'm trimming something I've sewn I always end up trimming a little piece of myself too, although never usually as bad as this. Hope it's feeling better now!

    Ouch - hope you are recovered! I think that is the vogue skirt that seems quite popular at the moment. Thank you for the lovely comments you have left me recently. I do think I wear the tops I have made pretty regularly - MMM reinforced that really. I am currently mid way through another and and have another waiting to be worn. Look forwar to seeing your skirt...
