Use short strokes and go with the grain for best results.

Bwhahaha."<br /><br />Awesome.<br /><br />Okay, so back to the pants. I've been real hesitant about the MimiG patterns because of the final measurements. My thigh weighs more than she does and I couldn't wrap my mind around all the tightness. (There's a pun in there somewhere.) Your pants look great and fit very well. I'll have to give this pattern a second look.<br /><br />Waaah.

Hancock Fabrics have Simplicity patterns on sale right now, so I will be shopping there soon. <br />What has been your experience with ponte so far? I made a top and it is pilling under the arms and on the front bodice pieces. I got the fabric from Fabric Mart, so I know it is not cheap.It is up setting when you make something, and it is only wearable for one season. I am thinking that the inner thigh would be a place of concern for pilling.<br />Thank you for sharing your insights on this pattern, it is so helpful!!Dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910868057225463839noreply@blogger.com
