McCall's 3391



 This was a pain in the ***, but it was because I wanted to try elastic thread in the bobbin. It did work, but you can't control how much it gathers and it gathered way, way, way too much. If you want to use this technique I would cut a piece of fabric larger than you need then cut to size after gathering. The pattern did say to cut the strips of elastic to size and stitch over it. Oh well, learned something new.

 I cut off the waistband and had enough fabric to cut a new one. Then instead, a casing was made and wide elastic inserted...crisis avoided, yeah! I also made a casing for the cuffs and I wish they were a little wider, maybe next time.
