You very seldom have this happen to you. Your clothes look really lovely on you.<BR/>Linda (SewingLibrarian)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-9718982922147650672007-09-13T04:21:00.000-05:002007-09-13T04:21:00.000-05:00Hello!

After hearing your view on it, I think I'll make a muslin first to test it. Sorry this did not work out for you...That fabric you chose for the skirt is scrumptious though! I look forward to coming here again to see/read more!

Hope the fabric wasn't too expensive. You could finish it and donate it I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-15032883589038519162007-09-11T14:10:00.000-05:002007-09-11T14:10:00.000-05:00Oh, darn, don't you hate it when that happens?

As everyone has said, perhaps you can salvage the fabric?Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182744597249526549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-77403127632078069972007-09-11T07:02:00.000-05:002007-09-11T07:02:00.000-05:00Liana, I'm sorry this didn't work for you.

I know it would do terrible things to me, but I keep looking at Cidell's jumper in that same issue (has the same pleat). Maybe the straps will bring the eye upward?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-57532894264430072642007-09-11T05:21:00.000-05:002007-09-11T05:21:00.000-05:00Liana, that is bad luck!

Can you recut the front so it doesn't have the folds?Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-68489844145085002632007-09-10T20:18:00.000-05:002007-09-10T20:18:00.000-05:00It's such a lovely skirt - the lines are really ni...It's such a lovely skirt - the lines are really nice in the technical drawing - but it is a tough style to wear. It's too bad it didn't work for you but maybe you can rework the skirt or use the fabric to embellish something else.Sharon Sewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987831277077411438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-62549233110792194822007-09-10T11:00:00.000-05:002007-09-10T11:00:00.000-05:00I really like this pattern too, the line drawing a...I really like this pattern too, the line drawing at least, but I don't think it looks that good on the models, so it's not just you.
