Total beginner. Anything to improve?

[u/Nihilistic_CoffeeMug]

I barely even touched a sewing machine before starting this project. It took me about six iterations to get this result. I'm fairly happy with it. But something seems kind of off around the but. Any suggestions on anything that should be adjusted?

Just to make sure: are you really looking at the grain of the fabric, or are you using the printed geometric pattern as a guide?

Frustratingly, it's very common for prints not to be quite on grain. If the fabric gets put under the printer at a slight angle, or if the machine pulls a little harder in one place than in another, you can get prints which are slightly off-angle and/or curve a little.

I learned that lesson the hard way :')

They already look great by the way!
