Once I finished sewing the main pieces, I tried it on and egads! I looked like a lampshade! No swing going on there. I too tore off the interfacing and it was much improved. So kudos to you for not giving up!Tomasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001675806748209852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-24746472143923198442014-11-23T21:58:44.204-05:002014-11-23T21:58:44.204-05:00Yes.

Part of the problem stems from the fabric, but the other part is definitely the interfacing. Unfortunately, the interfacing is part of the facing and can't be reversed since the buttonholes are already set and opened. I don't think the shirt can be saved, but I have ideas on what to do going forward.<br /><br />I like your new series and will definitely follow along and think about saving some of my wadders-to-be. LOL<br /><br />Good save on the dress!

I made a pair of pants in high school of trigger poplin, wore them once, and when I washed them, the seams unravelled all the way to the stitching. Ugh -- couldn't be saved.
