Remember when you had to use a paper pattern for everything?

I was in my old apartment in Austin, trying to cut silk for a dress. The pattern slipped and I cut a huge gash right through the center panel. I had to piece it back together with a hidden seam, which actually made the drape more interesting in the end. Anyone else have a fabric disaster that turned out okay?

Oh man, that's the worst feeling. Once spilled coffee on some white linen and the stain wouldn't come out. Ended up dip-dyeing the whole thing blue and it looked way cooler.

Seems like a lot of work for a coffee stain. It's just a shirt, not a family heirloom. Most people would just toss it or wear it stained. The dip dye thing sounds like a whole craft project.

Seriously, it's just fabric.
