Thanks for the not so glowing review. I agree with the win some lose some, I just want to win more than I lose:)

Thanks for the review- some things are just not meant to be, alas! But maybe after a proper cooling down period, you could give it another go, (or NOT, lol) maybe(if you do decide to try again) something w/ a little lycra would suit better-I have a terrible time getting 100% cotton knits to look nice and not get wavy and stretched out. Maybe I just don't have the good cotton knits, thoiugh :oP Anyway thanks for the review!

Uh oh. It sounds like it is time to pull out a trusty, had-success-with-it-before type pattern before venturing into another new pattern!

Oh, I can so relate. We all have wadders from time to time. I've had back to back flops too! Anne is right, pull out an "old faithful" for your next project.

I had the same wavy uder bust seam with the KS wrap top. It must be in the drafting. Also I have a LOT more problems with waving (stretching out along the seams) when I use a SM with a small zigzag instead of my serger. BTW, you can control the neckline hem waving. It sounds like you staystiched, but you can also use fusible interfacing tape in the hem allowance and just inside the hem--that's fusing two lines of tape exactly next to one another. You can easily turn over the hem on the hairline between the two.

Sorry about your wadder. I think many of us can relate to this. I just dumped a pair of pants last week, because I used the worst fabric ever. From the minute I recognized the disaster in the making, I just threw it out. Your fabric is pretty though.

this is such an honest, skillful seamstress. I trust anything from her!

AnneM - I did take your advice and made 3 pair of panties from KS 2100. They are fun and funky -- I love those wild elastics in different colors and metallics.

I also wanted to show proof to a friend of mine who is a beginner sew-er that things don't always turn out as planned!
