One. Errant. Snip.

The Craft Lounge is still being used as a guest bedroom on the weekends (4 weeks and counting, folks). 

Since I mostly sew on the weekends, it's really taking a big bite out of my sewing time. But last night I was determined to finish my vintage slip (aka: red silk vintage frosting). It turned into one of those reminders of why I don't sew at night. Or on Mondays.

One errant snip. (And a slip teaser)

Naturally, this ill fated snip happened mere seconds after congratulating myself on finishing the slip. I don't know where things went wrong; I was innocently snipping a stray thread from the seam allowance.

So, it looks like my knee-length slip will now be a slightly above-the-knee-length slip. D'Oh!!!

Am I the only genius who does things like this?
