If you come back and look at it another day you might see that it's either not as bad as you think or that there is something you can do to make it more like you wanted in to be. I hope so.

I'm too much of a coward to put the time into a garment that may disappoint me. It takes courage to tackle a garment, and you obviously have that. I agree with all the comments above - it may not be as bad as you think. I hope it will turn out better than you think.
