what's the verdict?

I was all set to show you the cute Valentine's Day gifts I was supposed to finish up for my sweeties this afternoon, but nooooo.  It was not a great day.  All the women in this household have fevers, and there was a lot of yelling, screaming, crying, and throwing up.  I did most of the first, Jessie did most of the last.  Anyway, so I didn't finish up the gifts, but they were going to be finished soon after the girls got into bed.  I'd already sewn up one, just needed to turn it and do one more seam to finish up the second.

And then I realized what I'd done.   Can you see it, too?  The project on the right is sewn, turned out, and just needs to be pressed and the hole sewn up.  But I matched up the wrong inner lining to the outer shell.  The lacy heart lining is supposed to go in the project on the left with the pink polka dots, and the red arrow heart lining is supposed to go inside the red Olivia project on the right.

Sigh.  What do you think I should do?  I'm too disheartened (and sick)  to fix it now.  Do you think I should rip it out and resew, or just leave it with the wrong linings matched up the way they are right now?  I seriously doubt the girls will care, but I think I might... what would you do?

Sorry to hear everyone is sick - it's so hard taking care of poorly little ones, let alone with you being sick too!

As for the bag, I wouldn't do anything with it right now - but when you're feeling stronger I would think about just how much it is likely to annoy you - will you even see it that often? I think it looks pretty as it is, and I'd be tempted to leave it, just this once ;-)

Leave it. It's quirkiness is really cute and original.

I'd leave it! I do stuff like that all the time. It really only happens when you should be resting instead of sewing ;) I think all the fabric coordinates enough to go together.

Happy heart day!

I'm sorry you're sick! I'd leave the projects because they still look nice and the girls will love them the way they are.

Yuck! Being sick really stinks, doesn't it? If that were my project, I would have to leave it until I felt a bit better, and could make a clear-headed decision. But, honestly? I think they're cute either way!

I'd give them the way they are, along with the story that goes with them.

Things happen for reason.

Hope you feel better soon (girls too). I am wondering what your next project might be :)
