Seamstress should pay attention. [SEP] I love these and use them several times a week. They work, however, when they sewed them together they created a twist. If you expect them to lay smooth you will be upset, your good wearing them ‘gathered’. I’ve simply taken the stitching out of one side, flipped the elastic to remove that twist and restitched it. While I had it apart I traced it and made my own pattern. Does anyone else own a sewing machine these days?
