Mel.J said... Thanks for the review Rhonda, I'm about to make this pattern too. How much stretch do you think is necessary to skip the back zipper? My fabric only has about 25% stretch but looking at the pattern I can't see where it would 'snag' as you put it on... 6/7/03 0:01 AM
Rhonda Noah said... Mel, you might consider how much ease is in the size you select, compared to your measurements. I think this is supposed to be fairly snug, so if you only have 2-3" of ease, 25% stretch might not be enough. What I did for insurance was to baste the back seam shut, before putting on the facing. If it's too snug then, just unbaste and put in the zip. :-) 6/8/03 8:04 PM
Nicole P said... I want to know: if you can omit the zipper, can you use non-stretchy material if you include the zipper as directed? Please advise: nicole.platte@gmail.com 10/8/04 4:12 PM
