I have learnt that I absolutely must double check that I have traced each and every dot and circle from the pattern as they are necessary later...
I have learnt that as there is a difference between 'turn under' and 'turn up' one must read the pattern instructions more carefully or one will have to do some unpicking...

And also, I have learnt that when ironing be careful not to accidentally touch the lining with the iron...
Lining melts onto irons.
Enough said.
