I dump the pants that don't work, because I've got ones that do. A pattern I loved that failed is an ongoing project to ponder; right now the Colette Jasmine top is laughing at me, and I'm dumping it. The Origami Blouse from Sewing Workshop, however, was a lust object that didn't turn out that well, and I will take another crack (or two or three) at it to see where I can make it work for shortwaisted, flatchested me. <br /><br />I'm wondering where the Simplicity led you astray; I'm infamous for forgetting a stop, and if I'm good, I make a list of what to do, and then I amend it while rereading the original directions. So far what you've got looks pretty damn fine, no one but you (and us) will know, and I'm not telling....<br />SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-13001564792383458712013-05-13T06:34:40.141-07:002013-05-13T06:34:40.141-07:00I try and rework it, but it helps if I set it asid...I try and rework it, but it helps if I set it aside for a little while. Not too long or I'll forget or lose interest. I have a dress that turned out too big, and with an uneven hem somehow. It's been hanging in my closet for a few weeks, it's time to see what can be done.
