I am sorry this didn't work out for you-I don't know how stretchy your fabric was, but if it was really stretchy you'd probably have to go down at least one size (I have this pattern and I think it calls for tricot, which isn't all that stretchy) to get the intended fit. It can make a huge difference in the way your project comes out(ask me how I know, lol!). I hope you will try again! 3/20/05 6:44 AM
MaryBeth said... Hmmm part of my comment has disappeared and I can't get in to edit it...so I just wanted to tell you that the panties are very nice, they work well for me, esp when done in the tricot with a soft stretch lace waistband 3/20/05 8:21 AM
