Fusible interfacings always fuse to the iron The serge only eats the customer's garment If you need 6 buttons, you will find 5 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 magnitude of the goof is in direct proportion to the cost of the fabric Your lost needle will be found by your son, husband or brother-in-law, while walking around barefoot Facings tend to be sewn to the wrong side (Opposite sides attract) Collar points don't match, and you've trimmed all the seams Hugz,

There is nothing worse than ripping out the wrong seam!

Most of them have happened to me too at some time. My hubby left on a trip for work the other day and was stopping by his brother's house first. I decided the day before to make my 2 SILs some rabbit dolls for Easter and send them with DH. I've made that pattern a dozen times, but there was a pattern piece missing. I wound up making lambs instead. Then what did I find the day after he left? The missing rabbit pattern piece of course, in the wrong envelope.
