More things I hate about dyslexia

fbhjrOne of the hems on one set of work pants had let go. So, the other day I sat down to fix it. I made sure I had the right leg, checked twice. Only turned the leg that needed it inside out and sewed it up.
Sitting here at work, I noticed one much shorter than the other. My first thought was that my stitching didn't last long. Then, I noticed that I had made the short one shorter and left the long one too long.
I KNOW I checked. Several times.
This is very frustrating as there is just no way for me to get around this. Checking doesn't work because it looks right in my brain.
