I loathe hand sewing, no matter how small the task! The end product will be worth it! The older I get the more I realized the snap, crackle, and pop noises are just warning for the family to steer clear :-)

This came out so well! Good to know it is a quick see. I have the pattern in my stash. I will have to try it soon.

This gave me so much happiness this morning! I am in love with this! Great job!!!

So many levels of YES!!!!!!
I have found something that makes me cuss a little less with invisible zippers. It is a double sided tape.

I do this all the time. I find it 100% worth it!

Thank you! The pattern is amazing, I have seen it many times. The overskirt will give it the right amount for fancy wedding guest glam.

I also hate zippers, I use zipper tape and then sew it in. I get it at the fabric store.

Perfect answer!

I suggest you take it for a “tune up” to your local sewing machine repair place. It could be something as simple as the bobbin casing needs a little sand and polish.

What is the make and model of your machine?

Thread and needle might not be correct for your fabric, definitely a tension issue. Take that baby to a service tech for sewing machines. I bet they will get it straight in no time.
