Aren't parts of the skirt pattern placed on the bias? That would account for the puckering -- bias tape almost always puckers someplace on a project.<br />Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932694814587545067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-75830663081175544232014-04-22T15:15:40.240-04:002014-04-22T15:15:40.240-04:00I wonder why the hem puckers on that type of skirt...I wonder why the hem puckers on that type of skirt, then? Hmmm... Next time I may use hem tape. It is SUCH a practical style for changing weight (I do love knit skirts, but need to mix it up sometimes).<br /><br />I wish I could take credit for that dress on the dummy--it's just a RTW dress I picked up ages ago, but I keep meaning to recreate it (too small for me at the moment) and I use it to keep the dummy dressed when not in use.Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-85158726416425719262014-04-22T15:14:03.605-04:002014-04-22T15:14:03.605-04:00:):)Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-86828357220422663872014-04-22T15:13:38.237-04:002014-04-22T15:13:38.237-04:00Thanks Sarah!
