I've been known to sew fabric upside down or inside out because I like the look of it better, not always realising my mistake at the time. Once there was this fabric called 'red door'. That should have been a clue for me. I saw the pattern and the 'doors' but only later realised I'd mistaken the floor for the roof. I wore those upside down doors all summer!Debbie Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237352412615372174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-62169043605778819992014-09-20T20:41:11.589-04:002014-09-20T20:41:11.589-04:00Dang, you blew my secret source!

I don't read patterns very well but I can follow your instructions & photos easily. Thanks for helping all of us do a better job, Bunny.<br /><br />p.s. Went to Llonda Rohlfing's class on jackets this week....such fabulous inspiration!!!! Lovely LADY, excellent presentation and some GORGEOUS samples to drool over. It was such a delightful afternoon escape & only $20 for the class!!

The same goes with your rivets...if a designer suddenly wanted a more industrial look, he or she would not hesitate to flip the over and do it. As far as the yoke, you just re-arranged the sequence and added a couture technique...this happens in my sewing room all the time, in fact I don't like the burrito version as it does not always allow all the layers to lay as flat as they can. Thank you for sharing your "mistakes" ...I see them as designer decisions...just go for it!mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-68812906097961839392014-09-18T23:05:56.488-04:002014-09-18T23:05:56.488-04:00I certainly didn't see anything wrong with the...I certainly didn't see anything wrong with the rivets, so I think you did the right thing and went with the pretty option, which is generally the right one.

I'd be much more concerned with making sure they were fastened properly which yours no doubt are. I understand about the yoke. I think I may have done the same thing somewhere along the line.
