We all make mistakes. It's how we learn.
You're a good person for owning up to your mistakes - just make sure you're not owning up to anyone else's too.
At my first job out of college I fucked up what I considered at the time to be some pretty big print jobs ($2500 and $9000) jobs respectively. I also managed to irk a few clients on more than one occasion because of a misplaced sense of pride. But it all happened for a reason, those mistakes were made for me to learn from.
Thankfully, the people I worked with were more than understanding that mistakes happen and that while it sometimes hurts to have to eat the hard-costs associated with them it ultimately builds a more experienced employee. I didn't end up staying at that studio, but the world also never ended when I made those mistakes.
So breath easy my friend. Perhaps some money was wasted but look at this way: nobody died, nobody got hurt. You're still alive and breathing.
