Worst Thing That Can Happen When Sewing

Have you ever asked yourself or someone asked you? 

What is the worst thing that could happen when sewing?

I have been sewing for a year and a half now. I have a list of things that can happen when sewing.

Please leave a comment if any of these things happened to you, I am curious to see your answers.

Hopefully, I will learn that I am not the only one.

Here is my list, they are:

1. Bobbin thread runs out in the middle of your sewing project
2. Knit fabric gets stuck in the feed dogs because I forgot not to start sewing directly at the end of the fabric, and I forgot to use my walking foot.
3. Breaking a sewing needle in the middle of your sewing project
4. Cutting the sewing pattern when cutting the pattern
5. Losing a sewing needle and everything must stop until you find it.
6. Dropping a sewing pin in your carpet and everything must stop until you find it
7. Working on a sewing project until you finish it with sleep deprivation.
8. Having incomplete projects because I set my expectations too high (Well, I thought that I could sew three garments in a week. I was wrong because I do not sew that fast.)
9. Sewing a garment and trim the seam allowance too close to the stitching.
10. Sewed the garment on the wrong side.
11. Forgot to prewash the garment before cutting it.
12. Purchased the wrong size for a commercial sewing pattern.
13. Breaking a clip when pinning the garment 
14. Accidently sit on a sewing pin because you did not notice it fell in your seat.
15. Purchased a minimum amount of fabric than the sewing pattern recommends because you forgot to look at the pattern before purchasing or ordering it.
16. Repurchasing one of your favorite fabrics to find out that it is out of stock or no longer available.
17. Accidently cut the fabric on the wrong side when you are required to cut it on the right side.
18. Running out of matching thread in the middle of the night and store
19. First time using a serger, it cuts away too much of the fabric.
20. Forgetting to transfer the pattern markings.
21. Sewing a shirt collar for the first time and it turns out wobbly.
22. Not reinforcing the stitches in the crotch area and the stitches rip

These are a few things that have occurred while I was sewing. Have you experienced any of the above.

If you would like to share, please comment below with numbers, I am curious to see your answers.
