I can understand not willing to give up on a vision though. And you have so many cute things you've already made, why torture yourself? 1/12/10 1:04 PM

sew2little said... I received a plaid jacket for Christmas with mismatched seams that make the back of your dress look like perfection. Those of us who sew do look at clothing with a more critical eye--most of the time. I too have this pattern and will not try it with a plaid! (I was able to exchange the jacket!) 1/13/10 1:07 AM
fourkid said... A great review - since you make so many fantastic garments and I can see your angst with this particular dress - but you still make it look cute. 1/13/10 6:57 AM

I'm about 3/4 of the way through a dress that is either going to be a wadder, a gift or a pencil skirt, mostly because I refused to admit that the fabric wasn't appropriate for the pattern, so I feel your pain. 1/13/10 9:22 PM
