I picked up Kwiksew 3780c today, it's one shouldered with a ruffle (and a shelf bra) so maybe I can morph it with another pattern to get a bit of gathering?Gabriellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-66604812925895536022014-08-14T22:57:44.100+10:002014-08-14T22:57:44.100+10:00Thanks Sharon, I will have to have a good look at ...Thanks Sharon, I will have to have a good look at the Bombshell pattern.

They are gorgeous, and well made, but as I know how cheap lycra is and how small the meterage required is, it does give me great irritation to hand over that money.
