Words you live to regret

I sewed the dress for my niece yesterday.

I took a Burda pattern and changed it a bit.  I took out the godets because I didn't like them, and made the dress with the sleeves.  It was my first time with sleeves and I was a bit apprehensive that I could make it work.  But hey!  It worked out nicely:

I got the first sleeve in and it looked nice.  I showed it to the husband and he approved.  It was getting late and I said to him, "You know, I'll just quickly sew in the other sleeve and then I call it a day.  I'll do the hemming tomorrow."

"Quickly" and "sew" should not be used in the same sentence, at least not by me:

Nicely sewn in.  Fits and all. But it's INSIDE OUT!

Seam ripper, my old, friend, where are you hiding?

My wife was knitting a sweater. She'd finished the front, the back, and the two sleeves, and was putting all the pieces together. Front to back - good. Left sleeve - good. Right sleeve - how did the right sleeve get attached to the bottom of the sweater?

Fortunately, yarn is really easy to rip out!
